Here he played from 1986 until 1999. After his active football career, he was a youth and assistant coach at Ajax. Danny Blind was appointed assistant coach of the Dutch national team on 6 July 2012, assisting head coach Louis van Gaal. In the period 2015-2017 Blind was head coach of the Dutch national team.
This shirt has all the characteristics of a match shirt: the correct size and style number in felt material on the back, long sleeves (not commercially available), but above all the fully embroidered Umbro logo on the chest which on the official replica shirts was screen printed.
