"The responsibility is mine," Ronaldo Koeman resigns after Netherlands

Ronald Koeman will no longer be in charge of the Netherlands national team.

The Dutch coach has announced his resignation, just days after the "Tulips" were eliminated by Morocco in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

He made the decision public through a message on social media, where he took responsibility for the team's failure in the tournament.

" Last night I made the decision to end my term as coach of the Dutch national team. It pains me that my engagement with the Orange ends in this way. We all dreamed of a World Cup where we would write history, but we did not succeed. No one is more disappointed than me. "
Koeman emphasized that as a coach he considers himself responsible for the result achieved.

"As a coach, I have a responsibility. I have always felt it and I will always feel it."
The Netherlands finished the group stage in first place with seven points, but their World Cup adventure ended immediately in the first round with direct elimination. After a 1-1 draw with Morocco, the "Tulips" were defeated in a penalty shootout, ending their dream of the World Cup.
