Ronald Koeman Resigns as Netherlands Coach After World Cup Exit

Ronald Koeman has become the fourth coach to resign following the elimination of the Netherlands National Football Team from the FIFA World Cup 2026. The team exited in the Round of 32 after losing to Morocco in a penalty shootout.

Koeman's resignation comes as he reflects on the disappointment of not achieving the dream of making history in the World Cup. He joins Miroslav Koubek, who resigned after Czechia's group stage exit, Steve Clark, who stepped down as Scotland's coach following Ghana's defeat to Croatia, and Hong Myung-bo, who resigned as South Korea's head coach after their early group stage elimination.

The Netherlands finished the tournament without progressing to the Round of 16, which has led to significant changes in their coaching staff.
