Dutch football great to coach Solomon Islands

The 67-year-old, who's been the head coach of Indonesia and Trinidad and Tobago, played for the Netherlands at the 1974 and 78 World Cups alongside football legend Johan Cruyff.

After signing a short term contract with the Solomons, Rijsbergen said he was curious about football in Oceania.

"What a great opportunity to get to know other people, to get to know football in that part of the world," he said.

"This is not a job to make a lot of money, you have to enjoy it.
