[WORLD CUP 2018/2022] Former Dutch star Ruud Gullit has been named the president of the bid committee seeking to bring the 2018 or 2022 World Cup to Belgium and the Netherlands.

Gullit, who spent part of the 2008 MLS season as the Los Angeles Galaxy coach, will be a World Cup 2010 commentator for ESPN, whose Executive Vice President of Content John Skipper is a board member on the USA Bid Committee.

Belgian/Dutch bid CEO Harry Been said Gullit's "knowledge and background in soccer" will be a major boost for the bid.

The Belgian/Dutch bid is considered the weakest of the four European bidders, behind England, Spain/Portugal and Russia, all three being equally strong in their bids for one of the two finals.
