Ronald Koeman has resigned in the wake of the Netherlands’ last-32 defeat by Morocco on Monday.

“Last night I took the decision to end my stint as head coach of the Dutch national team,” Koeman said in a statement on Instagram. “We all shared the dream of making history at this World Cup, but we fell short. No one is more disappointed by that than I am. As head coach, the responsibility ultimately rests with me”.
