Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman said on Tuesday he was stepping down after his team were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco in the last 32.
"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."
The Netherlands had been tipped to make a run deep into the tournament but Morocco beat them 3-2 in a penalty shootout after the match in Monterrey had finished 1-1 at the end of extra time.
The Netherlands were leading 1–0 in the final minutes of the match thanks to a Cody Gakpo goal, but they conceded an equalizer deep in stoppage time when Issa Diop scored.
