Having succeeded Sam Allardyce at Crystal Palace, Frank De Boer has become the eighth Dutchman to manage a Premier League club.
The Netherlands are fourth in terms of nations with the highest number of PL managers, after England (114), Scotland (34) and Italy (11). France, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Wales and Spain are joint-fifth with seven.
De Boer follows in the footsteps of Ruud Gullit, Martin Jol, Guus Hiddink, Rene Meulensteen, Ronald Koeman, Louis van Gaal and Dick Advocaat.
Jol is the Dutchman to have managed the most Premier League matches, 202 with Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham.
It is Hiddink who has the best record. The 70-year-old won 18 of his 34 matches as interim manager of Chelsea on two occasions.
Hiddink's win percentage of 52.9% overall marginally betters Van Gaal’s record of 51.3% at Manchester United.
