Bert van Marwijk was not considered the perfect candidate to succeed Marco van Basten in 2008, but after guiding the Dutch to the 2010 World Cup final he has been handed an extended contract to 2016.
Clauses in his new deal with the Dutch Football Association allow for approaches from major European clubs, but for most of his career he has gained greater success in tournaments and cup competitions rather than leagues.
