Ronald Koeman Quits As Netherlands Coach After FIFA WC Elimination
Royal Dutch Football Association: Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman announced his resignation after the Dutch were knocked out in the Round of 32 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 by Morocco, marking the end of his second spell with Oranje as manager.
Koeman began his first tenure in early 2018, which lasted until mid-2020. He returned for a second term in early 2023 after the World Cup in Qatar, where the Netherlands had made the quarter-finals.
"I made the decision to bring my time as national team coach of the Dutch national team to a close. We all dreamed of a World Cup in which we would make history. We did not succeed. No one is more disappointed about that than I am. As national coach, you carry that responsibility. I have always felt it, and I always will.
