Netherlands manager Frank de Boer has been sacked shortly after the team were eliminated by the Czech Republic in the round of 16 of the Euro 2020.
The Czech Republic gave the surprise of the round of 16 of Euro 2020 and eliminated the Netherlands 2-0 to lengthen its dominance in recent years.
Other reports also indicate that the Dutchman decided to walk away from the national team so they can make a fresh start when their world cup qualification campaign resumes.
Frank de Boer stepped down as Netherlands head coach following their disappointing Euro 2020 campaign.
The 51-year-old announced his decision in an official statement on Tuesday, which reads: “In anticipation of the evaluation, I have decided not to continue as national coach. The objective has not been achieved, that is clear.
“When I was approached to become national coach in 2020, I thought it was an honor and a challenge, but I was also aware of the pressure that would come upon me from the moment I was appointed, that pressure is only increasing now, and that is not a healthy situation for me, nor for the squad in the run-up to such an important match for the Dutch football on its way to World Cup qualification.
