Koeman pledges commitment to Southampton despite Netherlands rumors

The 52-year-old says that he is satisfied with life at St Mary's Stadium despite reported interest from the Dutch national team amid Danny Blind's struggles.

Ronald Koeman has stressed that he is fully committed to managing Southampton despite reported interest from the Netherlands national team.

Netherlands has endured a dismal qualification process for Euro 2016, with the 3-0 defeat to Turkey at the start of September leaving the team nine points adrift of the top two - Iceland and Czech Republic - in Group A.

Reports have emerged that Koeman has subsequently been identified as a candidate to replace Danny Blind, who succeeded Guus Hiddink in July, but the 52-year-old says he is happy at St Mary's Stadium.
