Fans appear to spot Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman in disgusting act on bench during Euro 2024 opener
FANS have been left disgusted by Ronald Koeman’s repulsive act on the bench during the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 opener.
The camera cut to the Dutch boss on the touchline as his side took on Poland.
And it caught the moment Koeman rubbed his nose before wiping his hand.
He then stuck one of his fingers up his nose before putting it in his mouth, much to the disgust of fans.
One reacted saying: “Why did he eat it like it was a tasty snack”
Another added: “Bro got caught lacking in front of millions of people ”
A third wrote: “Disgusting ”
And another commented: “That’s wild ”
Joachim Low infamously grabbed headlines for his nose-picking when he managed Germany.
Former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was also caught in the act during a conversation with Jose Mourinho on the touchline.
