According to a report on Dutch national broadcaster NOS, the Qatari Football Association have approached successful manager Co Adriaanse for the position of national team coach.

Qatar are reportedly unhappy with the results under current coach Bruno Metsu and are therefore in the market for a new tactician. Adriaanse is believed to be their primary candidate for the job.

Qatar failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup after finishing fourth in the table in their qualification group behind Australia, Japan and Bahrain.

The 62-year-old Adriaanse previously worked at Qatari side Al Sadd in the final months of 2007 and the Qatari FA are eager to lure the Dutchman back to take charge of the national team.

Adriaanse has been out of work ever since he left Austrian titleholders Red Bull Salzburg last summer. He has recently been linked with Eredivisie outfit NEC, but turned down an offer.
