Ronald Koeman leaves as coach of the Netherlands. He decided this after the 2026 World Cup. The Netherlands lost against Morocco. It was the round of 32. The team lost in the penalty shootout. Koeman says: I take the blame for the result.
Koeman was coach of the national team since 2023. He worked for clubs like FC Barcelona before. Now he stops his work as a coach. He writes on Instagram: I am proud of my work. The World Cup was not good.
There are also private reasons. The wife of Koeman is very sick. Koeman says: Family is more important than football. He thanks his wife for her support. Peter Bosz might be the new coach.
