The announcement was made 10 days after Oranje crashed out of the competition after failing to win a single point at the group stage.
‘Van Marwijk performed extremely well in taking the Netherlands to the final of the World Cup and the top place in the Fifa rankings,’ the Dutch football association KNVB said in a statement. ‘It is disappointing to say goodbye earlier than planned but we have to be realistic.’
