Ronald Koeman has resigned as head coach of the Netherlands national football team following the team's elimination from the 2026 World Cup. The Dutch were ousted after a penalty shootout defeat to Morocco.

Koeman, 63, was serving his second spell as the Netherlands coach, having initially led the team from 2018 to 2020 before departing to manage Barcelona. He returned to the Dutch national team setup prior to the World Cup cycle, aiming to guide the squad through the tournament.

In a statement, Koeman expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with the team and thanked everyone involved with the national side during both of his tenures. The decision to step down comes shortly after the Netherlands' exit from the global competition, marking the end of his latest term as coach.

No immediate successor has been announced as the Dutch Football Association begins its search for a new head coach to steer the team forward.
