Guus Hiddink had known for months that he would become the national coach of Curaçao | Football

sport">According to technical director Etienne Siliee, Hiddink is not tempted with a high salary. He would consider his position a nice challenge, but he does require a professional working climate. The union is very happy with the arrival of Hiddink. The aim is to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar in 2022. Hiddink will approach various football players with a Curaçao background for this.

sport">According to the association, it will initially be eight football players. Some players have already been approached for this, but the only name that was announced during the press conference is that of Richairo Zivkovic, who has a Serbian mother and a Curaçao father. Zivkovic first wants to consult with the national coach of Serbia to see what his chances are to come out for that country.

sport">In February, Hiddink spoke with the then national coach of Curaçao Remko Bicentini. According to the union, he would have refused to function as an assistant to Hiddink. His contract was terminated last Friday. The union thanked him for his good work as national coach and says that the door will always be open for him.

sport">Last Friday, Hiddink confirmed that he will be the national coach of Curaçao. Bicentini says he needed to hear that report from the media. The Curaçao Football Association apologized for that unfortunate turn of events.
