Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman shocked the footballing world as he was hospitalized after suffering from a chest pain on Sunday.
The 57-year-old was taken to hospital in Amsterdam and underwent surgery for cardiac catheterisation, which involves the placement of a long, thin tube into a vein or artery and is typically performed without general anaesthetic.
However, his wife Bartina told De Telegraaf that he is currently in stable conditions.
“Ronald Koeman was hospitalized on Sunday evening after chest complaints,” KNVB said in a statement.
“The 57-year-old national team coach of the Dutch national team has undergone a successful cardiac catheterisation and will return home tomorrow. We wish Ronald a lot of strength and improvement.”
