The team of the Netherlands lost without a coach after the fiasco at the 2026 Emergency.

Ronald Koeman officially fired the head coach of the Dutch national team. The final decision was taken by the team after the early and uncontested defeat of the team in the 1/16 finals of the world championship. The Netherlands defeated the Moroccan national team in a series of post-match penalties and completed their performance in the tournament ahead of schedule.

The 63-year-old fakhivets announced his exhibition on a special page on Instagram. If you decide not to continue your contract, the term of your contract will end after the end of the World Cup.

“I have made the decision to end my tenure as head coach of the Netherlands national team. We all dreamed about the World Championship, where we made history. What's missing. There are no more disappointments here, no one. As a head coach, you carry this responsibility,” wrote Koeman.

The attack on the table at an early stage became a major blow for Dutch football. As far as Oranje has reached the 1/8 finals at the top eleven world championships, including reaching the quarter-finals in Qatar.

In addition, this is already the third tournament after the Netherlands were deprived of the championship through a loss in the penalty shootout (the lottery became fatal for the team again).

At the tournament itself, Koeman faced a fair amount of criticism from experts and fans for training the team to be more defensive and careful in the style of play.. In the face of the injury, the coach recognized the great value of his colleagues and wards.

“I am passionate and would like to express my gratitude for the dedication shown by everyone who was associated with the team during both of my periods as head coach,” he said.

Koeman also shared his plans for the coming future, voting on the need to exit football:.

“It’s really surprising that our World Championship campaign ended so early. As soon as it’s time for me to fade away and look back, I’ll remember the important miracle and remember the many miraculous moments we spent together. I believe that at one time you spend more than an hour with your friends, children and grandchildren. At the moment this seems to be the correct and natural solution."

Guess what, this will be another period of work for the great superstar of Barcelona and Ajax on the national team. We returned to the place of the team that replaced Louis van Gaal after the 2022 emergency (where the Netherlands lost on penalties to the eventual champions, Argentina).

Koeman's main asset during his tenure became the team's advance to the Euro 2024 semi-finals. This was the first episode when the Netherlands reached the finals of the great international tournament of the World Championship 2014.
