(Reuters) - Ronald Koeman's appointment as Barcelona's new coach keeps up a lengthy love affair between the Catalan club and the custodian and heirs of 'Total Football' and will have supporters hoping he can be as successful as his compatriots.

He is the fifth Dutchman to take on the job, following in the footsteps of Rinus Michels, Johan Cruyff, Louis van Gaal and Frank Rijkaard.
