SAUDI Arabia has named former Netherlands and Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard as national team coach, the Asian Football Confederation said.
The ex-Dutch international has signed a three-year deal, the AFC said on its website. Saudi Arabia was set to appoint Brazilian Ricardo Gomes last month but the deal fell through over disagreement on a starting date. Rijkaard, 48, left Turkish club Galatasaray last October. He will be expected to help Saudi Arabia, ranked 92 in the world, qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
