The Dutch football association have named Bert van Marwijk as Marco van Basten's successor as Holland coach.
The Feyenoord boss has been appointed to lead the team's qualification bid for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and will take up the position on July 1.
Van Basten is standing down after this summer's European Championships in Austria and Switzerland.
Van Marwijk led Feyenoord to UEFA Cup glory in 2002 before departing for an unproductive spell at German outfit Borussia Dortmund between 2004 and 2006.
He returned to De Kuip at the start of this season and has led Feyenoord to fourth place in the Eredivisie standings and the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup.
Van Marwijk's appointment brings to an end the KNVB's three-month search for a successor to Van Basten, who has since accepted an offer to become the new coach of Ajax on the expiry of his Holland deal.
KNVB director Henk Kesler said: "We are glad and content that we could reach the deal.
"Bert was on our list from the beginning. He has earned his spurs nationally and internationally.
"The past weeks we have taken the time to exchange ideas.
"I look back at those talks with a good feeling and in the end this has resulted in a contract for two years."
