Danny Blind was named as new Netherlands coach on Wednesday, taking over from Guus Hiddink who left the post with the Dutch team struggling to qualify for Euro 2016.
"Danny Blind has been appointed as new coach of the Dutch eleven, starting from August 1," the Royal Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) said in a statement.
Hiddink stepped down Monday following a string of disappointing performances in the Oranje's qualifying campaign for next year's championship in France.
With four matches remaining, Holland are third in qualifying Group A with 10 points, three points behind the Czech Republic and five adrift of surprise leaders Iceland.
