Nigel de Jong has insisted that the entire Netherlands squad still have "confidence" in head coach Guus Hiddink.

The pressure has intensified on the veteran boss following last night's 1-1 draw with Turkey in Euro 2016 qualifying, which has left Oranje five points adrift of second-placed Iceland in Group A.

However, veteran midfielder De Jong believes that the players remain fully behind their manager.

"We still have confidence in this team and the coach. We are still third in the group and [have got] the top teams to visit," he told De Telegraaf.

The Dutch will take on Spain in an international friendly on Tuesday evening.
