Following the Netherlands' World Cup exit, Ronald Koeman has resigned as head coach. The Dutch team was eliminated by Morocco in the Round of 32 after a penalty shootout, marking their earliest exit since 2006, excluding 2018 when they did not qualify. Several potential candidates for the role have ruled themselves out, including former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who stated he is not available at the moment.
