The former Barcelona midfielder won 106 caps for the Netherlands before embarking on a management race that saw him take care of Feyenoord in 2015.
After a brief period in Guangzhou R&F, he returned to Europe and was appointed chief of the Rangers, happening to Steven Gerrard.
He led the Glasgow giants to the crown of the Scottish Cup and, more impressively, the Europa League final in 2022, where they lost to Eintracht Frankfurt for penalties.
He was fired during the 2022 World Cup break and remained out of the game until June 2024 when Besiktas appointed him. It lasted only five months in Istanbul before being fired after a defeat of the Europa League against MacCabi Tel Aviv.
