Dutch national broadcaster NOS cited Koeman’s business manager, Rob Jansen, as saying that Koeman was hospitalised after feeling chest pain after a bike ride.

“We are shocked and wish him a good recovery,” the Dutch national team’s spokesman Bas Ticheler told international media. Koeman’s management said the coach would be resting in coming days.

Due to coronavirus restrictions, it is unclear when the Dutch team will play again. The European Championship that was due to start June 12 has been postponed due to the global pandemic.
