Frank de Boer of the Netherlands has stepped down as head coach after crashing out of Euro 2020.
In an official statement on Tuesday, he said that:
“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 a 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.”
