1 / 2

Roberto Martinez has reportedly held talks with the Dutch football authorities about becoming Netherlands head coach. The 53-year-old is available after leaving Portugal following their World Cup exit. Dutch technical director Nigel de Jong reportedly met Martinez in Malaga to discuss the vacant role. Martinez previously managed Belgium for six years, leading them to third place at the 2018 World Cup, before taking charge of Portugal. The Netherlands are seeking a replacement for Ronald Koeman after their World Cup round-of-32 exit to Morocco.

Talks are one thing, but appointing him would still need a clear case beyond his availability after Portugal.

If the discussions are serious, Netherlands should assess his plan for the squad before making any quick decision.
