Van Basten played exceptionally well in the early part of the season and was voted European Player of the Year for a third time before his troublesome ankle injury recurred in a game against Ancona.
On 29 July 2004, van Basten was named as the new head coach of the Dutch national team, with van't Schip as his assistant.
Van Basten famously dropped superstars like Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf and Patrick Kluivert, who were either past their best or constantly underachieving, and picked previously little-known players like Khalid Boulahrouz, Danny Landzaat, BarryVanGalen, Ron Vlaar and Joris Matthijsse.
