Xavi ends 48-year tradition selecting Cruyff's disciple

The Netherlands has chosen Xavi Hernandez to coach the national team, in a move considered a departure from the tradition that has continued since 1978, as no foreign coach has previously led the "Oranje." This decision comes as part of the Dutch Football Association's efforts to develop young players, with a focus on leveraging Xavi's expertise in talent development through his experience with Barcelona. The appointment of Xavi is seen as an enhancement of the football philosophy rooted in Johan Cruyff's ideas, aiming also to blend Dutch football culture with his practical experience in coaching emerging talents, with the expectation that he will help raise the level of young players and facilitate their transition to the senior team.
