AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Ajax Amsterdam's unexpected run to the Champions League semi-finals could prove a major boost for the Netherlands national team as they attempt to win the Nations League next month, coach Ronald Koeman said on Tuesday.

"A season like Ajax have just had is priceless for the development of players," he said of the club's exploits in the Champions League, where they let a place in the final slip in the last minute of their semi-final tie against Tottenham Hotspur, plus their domestic league and cup double.
