He takes medicine, three times a week engaged with a physiotherapist. The latter inspection of the cardiologist showed that the disease is localized.
The coach has an account in "Instagram", but it is quite an impersonal. In the ribbon there are photos from the coaching and past football career, but personal life is not mentioned at all.
Football
Ronald Kuman began a professional career at age 17 and 183 days in Groningen. At that time, he became the third in the account of the young player of the club after Peter Wildsut and Berta de Vugta. And one of the most talented. In 90 games, the athlete scored 33 goals, which in 1983 led to the transition to Ajax and challenge to the Netherlands national team.
1986-1989 Ronald spent in PSV. He played on the positions of defender and midfielder, but still every 2 games scored in the opponent's gate on the ball. Legends walked about his blows. At the 1994 World Cup, even sold a cocktail "Lomoy strike", named after the football player.
At the power of hitting the Kuman in the youth was not equal. He accurately scored into the gate and from 20, and from 30 meters. But the football player has implemented its best goal for 20 May 1992 for Barcelona. From the penalty area, he put the only and decisive ball into the gate of Sampdoria in the Champions Cup final. Another enchanting moment occurred at the 1994 World Cup - speaking for the Netherlands, Ronald from 44 meters scored a goal of the Tunisia national team.
FIFA and the International Federation of Football History and Statistics are called Kuman Best Racheador among defense players. For the whole career, from 1980 to 1997, he scored 193 balls in 533 matches. A football player with such statistics was literally obliged to go to coaches.
Kuman received his first managerial position in 2000. Despite the meager budget, he managed to bring the Dutch "vitess" to the UEFA Cup. Slightly, the newly connected coach assumed the leadership team more. Ajax with him twice took the championship of the Netherlands, one time - the national Cup and the Super Cup.
"Benfica", PSV and Valencia are the most unstersheet pages in the biography of Ronald Kuman: just one award for the period of the leadership. Nevertheless, on the scale of clubs, these were important achievements. For example, Valencia in the 2007/2008 season won the Spanish Cup, which could not be achieved from 1999.
In February 2018, Ronald appointed the head coach of the Netherlands national team. His contract was designed until the World Cup 2022. With his filing, the national team took the 2nd place in the League of Nations UEFA, giving only Portugal.
Ronald Kuman now
In the semifinals of the Champions League in August 2020, Barcelona suffered the most stunning defeat in its modern history - "Bavaria" was shaken with a "blue-pomegranate" with a score of 2: 8. Lionel Messi, neither Mark-Andre Ter Gähegen failed to save the team from Shame.For the leadership "Barcelona", the occurrence has become not just an alarming bell, but a milk nabat. And for the current coach of the club, the Kika network is a mortal verdict: 2 days after the match, he received a notice of dismissal.
Experts in the field of football and insiders refer to the vacant position of Havi, Massimiliano Allegri, Mauricio Pentelino and Thierry Henri. But the leadership of Barcelona made a bet on Ronald Kmana, who is no longer the first year dreams of training "blue-pomegranates". Before he considered himself not experienced enough and asked time, but this time did not refuse.

Since the Kuman will have to leave the Netherlands national team, the "blue-pomegranate" will pay a penalty for its early care of € 5 million. What will be the salary, until it is reported.
In the head of Ronald already there are ideas about the transfer. So, he wants to strengthen the "blue-pomegranate" compatriot Donnie Van de Beck, who is now playing in Ajax.
I did not have time to take a vacant position, as he began to threaten the dismissal. Victor Font, which can be President of Barcelona in 2021, sees the coach exclusively than HAVI. This footballer team from Catalonia not only grown, but also made a legend. His retirement retirement in 2015 "Sine-pomegranate" was kept by tears.
If Viktor Font becomes President "Barcelona", according to him, even a brilliant debut season will not save from the dismissal of Kuman. But feared prematurely: the personnel policy can change the vector even until 2021.
