Any football fan would remember Giovanni van Bronckhorst for his screamer in the World Cup semi-final against Uruguay in 2010.

But the former Arsenal, Barcelona and Netherlands player has also been making his mark in the football managerial world recently.

After having worked with Ronald Koeman as his assistant manager at Feyenoord, Van Bronckhorst took charge of the Dutch club in his own hands, as he was unveiled as the first-team manager in 2015.

He guided Feyenoord to an amazingly shocking league title in 2016-17 after toppling rivals Ajax for the same.

Van Bronckhorst has announced that he would be leaving Feyenoord at the end of this season, and that means he would be available for Barca to hire him next season easily. Barcelona have had a great run with Dutch coaches in the past, with Johan Cruyff and Frank Rijkaard being managerial legends for the Catalan giants.
