Ronald Koeman has resigned as coach of the Dutch national football team following the Netherlands' elimination from the World Cup. In Monterrey, the Netherlands lost the opening play-off round to Morocco 2:3 on penalties after a 1:1 draw, and the tournament ended sooner than expected for the team. HVG ↗
The Dutch had been leading since the 72nd minute thanks to a goal from Cody Gakpo, who, according to sources, had taken to the field just a few days after losing his unborn son. He did not celebrate the goal, instead breaking into tears on the pitch and looking up to the sky. Morocco equalized late in regulation time through Diop, and no further goals were scored in extra time. In the penalty shootout, goalkeeper Bono's save against Summerville and Saibari's converted final penalty secured the African champions' progress. sport.cz - fotbal ↗
Koeman took over the Dutch team at the start of 2023, having previously led it from 2018 to 2020 as well. According to available information, his contract ran until 31 July, but personal reasons and a desire to spend more time with his family also played a role in his decision. At the same time, the Dutch football association reported racist attacks targeting three Black players who failed to score in the shootout. idnes.cz ↗
Morocco will face Canada in the round of 16. After another penalty-shootout failure, the Netherlands must now look for a new coach, with foreign media already speculating about possible successors. NOS ↗
