The elimination of Netherlands in the 2026 World Cup has had immediate consequences. The Dutch team, which had shown promise during the group stage, bid farewell earlier than expected after losing on penalties to Morocco in the round of 16. A hard blow for a team that had high aspirations and, after that stumble, has decided to end Ronald Koeman's era at the helm of the national team. All news related to the 2026 World Cup.

The departure of Ronald Koeman now opens a highly relevant chapter for the Dutch federation. Netherlands needs a new leader to rebuild the project, regain confidence, and compete decisively on the international stage. According to information from Nicolò Schira, there are two main names on the radar: Erik ten Hag and Arne Slot, two prominent coaches representing different paths for the national team's future.

Netherlands moves on after the 2026 World Cup failure: Erik ten Hag and Arne Slot, potential replacements for Ronald Koeman

Netherlands' journey in the 2026 World Cup began positively. The team had a solid group stage, with convincing victories against Sweden and Tunisia, along with a draw against Japan that allowed the orange squad to progress.

However, the blow came in the first knockout stage, where Morocco resisted, took the match to penalties, and ultimately knocked out one of the teams expected to go further.

That defeat completely altered the tournament analysis. What seemed like a promising participation turned into a significant disappointment. Netherlands not only got eliminated too early, but also once again conveyed the feeling of being a step below in crucial moments.

The direct consequence has been the end of Ronald Koeman's tenure, a coach with a background, influence, and knowledge of the environment, but who failed to meet the set expectations.

The federation understands that the new cycle must start as soon as possible. The aim is not only to choose a well-known coach but to find a figure capable of giving a clear identity to the team.

Netherlands has talent, youth, and top-level players in several positions, but they need to turn that potential into solid results when the pressure mounts.

In this scenario, Erik ten Hag and Arne Slot emerge as the top candidates for the position. Both have a deep understanding of Dutch football, experience in high-pressure contexts, and the credentials to lead a new era. However, their candidacies do not evoke the same feelings among fans.
