Koeman resigns as Netherlands coach after their elimination at the World Cup
Ronald Koeman resigned as coach of the Dutch national team following their elimination from the World Cup against Morocco on penalties.
Ronald Koeman resigned following the Netherlands' elimination from the World Cup by Morocco. The Dutch team lost 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in a thrilling round of 16 match at the Estadio Monterrey. Cody Gakpo gave the Oranje the lead in the 72nd minute, but Issa Diop equalized with a late header, forcing the match into extra time. Neil El Aynaoui, Justin Kluivert, Quinten Timber and Achraf Hakimi failed to convert their penalties, but the decisive error was that of Crysencio Summerville. Ismael Saibari, currently playing for PSV but about to move to Bayern Munich, scored the decisive penalty that catapulted Morocco into the round of 16. The Netherlands have been eliminated on penalties in each of their last three World Cup appearances, and Koeman has decided to end his time on the Dutch bench. "Last night I made the decision to end my role as coach of the Dutch national team," Koeman said on social media on Tuesday. "Looking back on my career, I feel particularly proud and grateful. I had the privilege of working at clubs such as Vitesse, Ajax, Benfica, PSV, Valencia, AZ, Feyenoord, Southampton, Everton, Barcelona and, of course, two spells with the Oranje. Clubs and people who shaped me and who gave me memories that I will carry with me for a lifetime. This is why it hurts that my time with the Oranje ends in this way. All of us sognavamo un Mondiale in cui scrivere la storia. Questo non è avvenuto. Nessuno è più deluso di me riguardo a questo. Come allenatore, porto questa responsabilità. L'ho sempre sentita, e continuerò a sentirla. Inoltre, gli ultimi anni mi hanno fatto capire che ci sono cose più importanti del calcio. Il calcio è stata la mia vita, ma la salute non ha prezzo. Quando qualcuno che ami sta affrontando una dura battaglia, la tua prospettiva cambia. Mia moglie Bartina mi ha sostenuto e incoraggiato ogni giorno a portare a termine il mio lavoro come allenatore nazionale, nonostante his illness process. This is a testament to incredible strength. I appreciate it more than I will ever be able to express in words. But above all, thanks to the fans for being so supportive even in difficult times. Of course, I would have liked to end my time with the Oranje with a world title. Unfortunately, that dream remained unfulfilled. But above all, pride prevails in everything that football has brought me, in the fact that I have managed to turn my greatest passion into a profession. Thanks for all these years of trust, criticism, support, disappointments and successes second place in the 2019 Nations League final and in the Euro 2024 semi-finals.
