Anonymous sources from within the Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) claimed that Hiddink's assistant Danny Blind will "directly" replace him, according to the daily De Telegraaf, public television station NOS and specialist magazine Voetbal International. The same sources claimed that an official announcement will be made later on Monday or on Tuesday morning.
