This is from his wikipedia page, sums him up perfectly...
Verheijen was appointed to the position of Assistant Manager to the
Wales national team in February 2011, managed at the time by
Gary Speed and in March 2011 made the news for his use of Twitter.
Two weeks after the death of Wales' national team manager
Gary Speed, Verheijen said that he would like to become the new Wales manager and continue Speed's legacy (he described it as "Gary's wish"). His comments courted controversy, Speed had been buried two days earlier and the comments were considered by some to be inappropriate. They were described as "selfish" by former Wales international
Iwan Roberts. In January 2012, he suggested that Wales should hire a foreigner as their new manager. On 19 January 2012,
Chris Coleman was appointed Wales team manager as successor to his friend
Gary Speed. Verheijen's contract was due to expire at the end of 2011, but he remained in the position until February 2012, when he resigned. In December 2012 Verheijen criticised the FAW, stating that they had "destroyed" the "legacy" of
Gary Speed. On 10 October 2015, Wales' qualification for
UEFA Euro 2016 was confirmed meaning that Coleman had led Wales to their first tournament qualification since 1958.
