🚨 Official: Ronald Koeman is no longer Netherlands manager | OneFootball

The Netherlands’ surprise elimination as early as the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup was the final blow. Less than 24 hours after the crushing disappointment against Morocco in a fatal penalty shootout, Ronald Koeman (63) officially announced his resignation as head coach of the Oranje.

Heavily criticized at home for tactical choices seen as too defensive, the Dutch manager chose to throw in the towel via Instagram, abruptly bringing his second spell in charge of the national team to an end.

"We all shared the dream of making history at this World Cup, but we failed. No one is more disappointed than I am. As head coach, the ultimate responsibility lies with me," the former FC Barcelona manager wrote on his Instagram account.

The federation (KNVB) must now move quickly to find him a successor and launch a brand-new project.
