Coach needed to reach quarter-finals for contract to be extended‘The objective was not achieved, that much is clear’
Frank de Boer has left his post as Netherlands coach, having not fulfilled the criteria for his contract to be renewed, which was a place in the quarter-finals at Euro 2020.
The 51-year-old was appointed last year after Ronald Koeman left for
Barcelona but despite a promising start at the tournament, in which they won all three group games, the sending-off of Matthijs de Ligt against the Czech Republic led to a 2-0 defeat at the last-16 stage.
