I guess a lot of English clubs are approaching Eredivisie with a lot of caution.
Not a good track record in recent years with players making the transition.
Dutch NT also seems to be doldrums.
A top club should take a chance on Eusebio Di Francesco.
Why?
Because he has taken Sassuolo from the lower table in Serie B to a top 6 finish in Serie A and subsequent Europa League play in the span of 3-4 years.

He gets the most out his squad with a less than average budget while playing attractive football.
There is a significant difference than taking a middling lower league club and banding them together t make a team that is greater than their sum of parts and taking a top side with all the talent in the world and the different egos to match and molding them into world beaters.
There's a difference for sure, but it's not like it's harder to coach an abundance of quality than it is to get a Serie B side into Europe. It just requires a bit of diplomacy. There's no reason Di Francesco wouldn't get more out of clubs like Inter and Milan than their recent managers have.
Didn't Moyes take Everton from being relegation contenders to being a consistent Europa League side only to fail at his first chance at major superpower club ?
I agree with USArsenal's post in this regard.
I am also in agreement with the yank.

Any serious analysis would have to consider what the clubs looked like when he took over and how long their respective boards were willing to wait for success (or even how it was defined). Louis van Gaal was one of his generation's most revered managers with league titles in Holland, Spain and Germany on his track record, and he failed even worse than Moyes. Mourinho looks like he's going to struggle there too.
You don't know Eusebio di Francesco do you?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're slipping kid.

And Moyes only signed Fellaini in the summer.
