Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 6 outcomes.

Why this matters:
The Netherlands National Football Team will select its next manager, with current betting markets assigning an 80% probability to Arne Slot. This reflects trader expectations about who will fill the coaching position based on available candidates and recent events. The high concentration on Slot likely stems from his profile as an experienced Dutch manager, while lower probabilities on alternatives like Erik ten Hag (8%) and Louis van Gaal (6%) suggest traders view them as less likely given current circumstances. Key factors include whether the KNVB (Dutch Football Association) has made an internal decision or continues evaluating candidates, the timeline for an official announcement, and developments affecting top candidates' current positions. The resolution will depend on an official KNVB appointment announcement, which would eliminate uncertainty and determine the winning outcome among the four candidates currently priced in the market.

Key factors:
- Arne Slot's current managerial status and availability relative to his club commitments
- The KNVB's publicly stated timeline for announcing the new manager appointment
- Recent performance or statements from competing candidates like Ten Hag and Van Gaal that could shift their relative likelihood
- Whether any candidate withdraws from consideration or accepts another position
- Official KNVB announcement of the appointment, which resolves the contract

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
