Ronald Koeman has resigned as head coach of the Netherlands national football team, following their elimination from Euro 2024. The Dutch side lost 2-1 to England in the quarterfinals on July 6, 2024, in Berlin.
Koeman, 61, took over as manager in January 2023 for his second stint, replacing Louis van Gaal. His contract was set to run until after the 2026 World Cup, but he stepped down after the Euro exit, citing a desire for a new challenge.
The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed the resignation on July 8, 2024, and has begun the search for a successor. Koeman's tenure included a mixed record, with the team failing to advance past the quarterfinals in major tournaments.
