Dutch legend Frank de Boer has taken over as manager of the national team.

He struggled at Crystal Palace in the Premier League, while his other jobs have been less than impressive as well.

But the man who played 112 times for the Netherlands will take over from Ronald Koeman, who left for Barcelona this summer.

De Boer has a two year deal, taking him to the 2022 World Cup.

His most impressive streak in management came with Atlanta United in MLS, where he won the U.S. Open Cup.
