The last foreigner to manage Holland was the Austrian Ernst Happel. Once a teenage solder in Hitler's army on the Russian front, Happel landed in the Dutch league in the 1960s. He never learned much Dutch, which didn't matter as he rarely spoke, preferring to smoke instead. Famously, he would win his players' respect by placing a bottle on the crossbar during a training session, and then kicking it off with one shot. Mostly, he just drank cognac and played cards.
In 1978, Happel coached Holland to the World Cup final. He died in 1992, inevitably of lung cancer, but now the time may have come to reincarnate him.
