Van Marwijk oversaw Holland's three straight losses at the Euros.
BERT VAN MARWIJK has stepped down as Netherlands coach after his team’s first round elimination from the European football championships, the Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) announced on Wednesday.
A statement on the KNVB’s website said: “On the initiative of Bert van Marwijk, the KNVB and Bert van Marwijk decided on Wednesday to end the coach’s contract with immediate effect.”
The 60-year-old’s contract had been due to run until the 2016 European championships.
Van Marwijk’s resignation follows a disappointing Euro 2012 campaign, in which the Oranje were knocked out at the group stage without taking a point.
