Koeman resigns, while Netherlands report racist abuse
Ronald Koeman has resigned as Netherlands manager after their World Cup exit.
The news came as it emerged earlier on Tuesday that Dutch players who missed penalties were racially abused online.
Koeman's side were knocked out by Morocco in a last-32 shootout after a 1-1 draw in Monterrey.
Justin Kluivert, Quinten Timber and Crysencio Summerville all missed their efforts and were subjected to discriminatory, racist and hateful comments on social media, said the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB).
Koeman, 63, has stepped down from his second spell in charge of the national side and hinted that he may have ended his managerial career altogether.
