AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Louis van Gaal featured prominently as Dutch media speculated over possible coaches for the national team but the country's football association (KNVB) wants him to help search for Danny Blind's replacement, De Telegraaf reported on Monday.

Blind's 20-month tenure ended after a 2-0 loss in Bulgaria on Saturday left the Dutch in fourth place in their World Cup qualifying group and facing an uphill struggle to reach next year's tournament in Russia.
