Guus Hiddink will be taking a bow as Netherlands coach. The Oranje's official website confirmed on Monday the 68-year-old would resign as coach of the national team on July 1
"I am sorry it went this way. I thought it was an honour to again coach the Dutch national team and I wish my successor, the staff and the players every success on the way to the European Championships in France," Hiddink said in a quote on the website.
The Netherlands currently sit third in their Euro 2016 qualifying group, behind the Czech Republic and Iceland, having failed to improve upon the results seen under Louis van Gaal at last year's tournament in Brazil. His assistant Danny Blind will be taking over for now, according to reports.
