Following this, Hoek joined van Gaal again at Bayern Munich in 2010, where he received both the role of goalkeeping coach and an assistant coach. After van Gaal left Germany in 2011, the pair took over the Netherlands national football team (for the second time), going to UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland/Ukraine and the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
