Coach of the Oranje selection since last year, Frank de Boer was removed from his post by the Dutch selection on Tuesday afternoon.
He replaced Ronald Koeman, who left for FC Barcelona, in September 2020, and suffers from the elimination of his team by the Czech Republic.
Frank de Boer is no longer the coach of the Netherlands.
The man at the head of the Oranje was removed from his post on Tuesday afternoon, as a statement from the Dutch Football Association announced.
"Frank de Boer announced that he did not want to continue, which is also in accordance with the contract between the two parties, which required a place in the quarter-finals", explains the text.
Memphis Depay's teammates were indeed eliminated in the round of 16 of Euro 2020 by the Czech Republic on Sunday.

"The goal is not achieved"
"In anticipation of the evaluation, I decided not to continue as a national coach. The objective was not reached, it is clear," concedes the technician in this press release.
"(…) It is not a healthy situation for me, nor for the team as we approach such an important match for Dutch football on the way to qualifying for the World Cup."
Frank de Boer steps down immediately as coach of the Dutch national team.
Thank you @FdeBoerofficial for all your efforts.
We wish you all the best.

Frank de Boer was appointed Netherlands coach last September, when Ronald Koeman left office to become FC Barcelona coach. Nine months later, the Dutch must now get back into working order for the World Cup qualifiers, in a disputed group (one team with seven points, three teams with six points including the Netherlands).
