Former Toon Boss To Take Over Socceroos?

Former Newcastle manager Ruud Gullit has said he would consider taking up the role as Australia coach when Pim Verbeek leaves the post after the World Cup finals in South Africa. Ruud Gullit: "Of course I would consider it (coaching Australia). It's very nice there. "I love Australia, I've been to Sydney. What I like about Australia is the people are very sport minded, very much, they love it. And of course the temperature is nice, the environment is nice. "Maybe that's the reason why the Dutch coaches do so well." But the prospect could be complicated by his current role as ambassador for the joint Belgium and Holland bid for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, something that Australia is also in the running for.
