2008-09 Netherlands Away Shirt

The Netherlands turned the page on Euro 2008, where Marco van Basten's side had topped a daunting group only to fall to Russia in the quarter-finals, by handing the reins to new head Bert van Marwijk.

Van Marwijk's tenure began with the start of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, a campaign in which the Dutch would ultimately win every single match, and the foundations of that perfect run, along with the squad's tactical identity, were laid during this transitional 2008-09 period.
