Dutch coach Frank de Boer quits

THE HAGUE: Frank de Boer has quit as the Netherlands coach following his team's failure to advance beyond the Round of 16 in Euro 2020, the Dutch football association KNVB said on Tuesday.

The Netherlands ended as winners of Group C after wins over Ukraine (3-2), Austria (2-0) and North Macedonia (3-0). But on Sunday, the Dutch were ousted by Czech Republic (2-0) in the pre-quarterfinals.

After consultations with the KNVB directors Nico-Jan Hoogma and Eric Gudde, de Boer said that he wanted to quit.

The Dutch association had concluded that the coach did not achieve the minimum target -- reaching the quarter-finals. IANS
