It's understood he is on a four year deal worth $200,000 per year.

Van Egmond had also reportedly been interviewed for one of the western Sydney bids but has opted for a job with the national set up.

Van Egmond was unavailable for comment but it's understood he will announce it on Monday and exits the A-League club immediately.

Jets technical director Branko Culina is expected to take over the side in the short term at least.

Van Egmond took charge of the Jets eight weeks into season two after Nick Theodorakopoulos's disastrous run of defeats.

Dutchy turned the team around immediately and enjoyed a long unbeaten run which took the club from the bottom to the finals. The following season he led the club into the grand final and its first Championship.

He leaves after a relatively successful run in the ACL - despite a cobbled together squad  - although that was soured by last week's 6-0 drubbing in Pohang against the Steelers.
