The decision Sergiño Dest made that dissapointed Ronald Koeman

Born in Almere, the Netherlands, but of American origins (his father has Surinamese-American nationality), Sergiño Dest affirms that he has followed his feelings. He had been playing with the US National Team but as he did not play official matches with the absolute selection, it was not official.

The Dutch coach wanted to have Sergiño Dest playing for the Dutch National Team, which he coached at the time. The right back chose to play for the USMNT instead, as he felt part of that culture in spite of being born in Holland. Now, their paths have crossed once again as Sergiño plays for the team coached by Ronald Koeman: FC Barcelona.
