Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman has confirmed a break clause in his deal which allows him to take charge at Barcelona.

The option will come into effect after the 2020 Euros.

Dutch Football Federation chief Nico-Jan Hoogma has revealed the clause.

And Koeman said: "I can safely say that I would not leave my position as coach [of the Dutch national team] for any club.

"I found it unfortunate that it was brought to light.

"I'm not angry, but we [Koeman and Hoogma] talked about it.

"A white lie can sometimes be good; I tell them from time to time."
