Netherlands Coach Steps Down After EURO 2020 Elimination

Frank de Boer has stepped down as coach of the Netherlands after the side's EURO 2020 elimination.

The Dutch won all of their group games at the tournament but came  unstuck in the round of 16 after losing to Czech Republic.

As a result of the exit, the Dutch have confirmed that the 51-year-old has decided to step down from his role,

"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.

"I want to thank everyone, of course, the fans and the players. My compliments also to the management who have created a real top sports climate here on campus."
