However, after extending his contract with Ajax for six years, Ronald Bruton and his twin brother Ronald obtained a successful court order to have it thrown out. Ajax had a verbal deal that if a lucrative bid for one brother came by, he would be released if the other stayed. However, Ajax backed down on the deal after floating the club on the stock exchange and pledging to shareholders that it will keep both the De Boers and build a team around them to recapture the Champions League.
Frank and Ronald de Boer, a former Ajax boss, joined Barcelona for £22 million in January 1999, joining them at the Camp Nou. They were unable to repeat their earlier victories after winning the 1998–99 La Liga title.

Following a disappointing season in which Ajax lost out on the Economies title to PSV on the final matchday of the season, De Boer resigned as Ajax's manager on May 11, 2016.
De Boer resigned from Roberto Mancini's resignation on August 9, 2016, starting with Internazionale's three-year deal from September 9, 2016. Inter's last pre-season friendly, a 2–0 triumph over Celtic on August 13, 2013, on neutral ground at Thomond Park, Republic of Ireland, was De Boer's first match in charge.
Joo Mário and Gabriel Barbosa for the team and De Boer were also signed by the club's administration (they were in fact linked to Mancini and Inter in July), as well as the Caner Erkin's return to Turkey in the last days of transfer window. Gabriel, on the other hand, was rarely used in Serie A matches and could not be licensed in European competitions due to a suspension levied against Inter for violating UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations in previous seasons.
On August 21, De Boer's first competitive match was a 2–0 loss to Chievo. De Boer was chastised for using a three-man defense during the game, a technique he had never attempted at Ajax. Corret, a Milan-based newspaper, went so far as to call Inter's result a "disaster." Fortunes soon changed, as Inter drew 1-1 against Palermo on August 28th, before winning three games in a row against Pescara, title-holders Juventus and Empoli. The victory over Juventus was widely praised, with De Boer being praised for bringing Éder back for Ivan Peri, who was credited with the winning goal.

Inter played in the UEFA Europa League under De Boer, losing the first match 0–2 at home against Israeli team Hapoel Be'er Sheva on September 15 and 3–1 against Sparta Prague on September 29.

(Bolingbroke himself resigned a few days later.) Liu Jun, vice president of Suning Sports, has taken over Bolingbroke.
De Boer claimed that he "needed more time" in order to make a name for himself as Inter's boss, and he thanked his followers on Twitter. On Monday, Inter Lazio's new boss, Stefano Pioli, was installed after winning the Treble under José Mourinho in 2010. De Boer's initial struggles at Interno, Pioli's first attempt at Inter, hit back at the lack of leadership following Suning's takeover of Inter, which he cites to the lack of confidence he was shown while there.
De Boer was appointed as the new boss of Crystal Palace, replacing Sam Allardyce, on June 26th. He signed a three-year contract with the South London club but was fired ten weeks later when Palace lost their first four league matches of the season without scoring a single goal, marking the first team in 93 years to begin in such fashion. He had only been in charge of the team for 450 minutes of game time, making it the shortest Premier League era in terms of number of games rather than number of days. In a second-round match in which Crystal Palace defeated Ipswich Town 2–1. Roy Hodgson had him removed from his service.
Although playing for the club, De Boer attempted to adopt a possession-based model of play; after his dismissal, he chastised the team's players for their opposition to his strategy, arguing that the club had signed only two players to reflect his philosophy. Wilfried Zaha, a winger for Palace, expressed regret for De Boer's brief stay at the club, saying, "There wasn't really the right combination [of players] for the way we wanted to play."
José Mourinho referred to De Boer's time at Crystal Palace as "the worst boss in the Premier League history."
De Boer, the head coach of Atlanta United's Major League Soccer team, was appointed on December 23, 2018, taking over Gerardo "Tata" Martino's role as the club's second head coach in the club's history.
