"I know Louis,"
"I don't know him very well but I am more than a passing acquaintance. I have always got on very well with him when we've met.
"We had a mutual friend in Rinus Michels so he was the person who introduced us in the first instance.
"I am pleased for him. He has been asked to take on a big job and my congratulations to him for that.
"But when it comes to all of these appointments with club teams I don't think it is for national team managers to involve themselves or suggest anything other than the club have made their decision and I can only congratulate Louis on being the chosen one."
