The disaster in the Round of 16 at the World Cup against Morocco led to the immediate resignation within the Dutch camp. Despite confidently advancing from the group stage with a crushing victory over Sweden, Ronald Koemanโs side fell to Morocco in a penalty shootout. Following this painful exit, the 63-year-old coach decided to end his second tenure with the national team.
Koeman issued an official statement: “This was not an easy decision, given the long and intense work with this squad. I am deeply disappointed that our World Cup journey ended so early. However, the time has come for me to spend more time with my wife, children, and grandchildren. At this moment, it feels like the right and natural step to take.”
