Netherlands coach Van Basten to step down after Euro 2008
AMSTERDAM, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Netherlands coach Marco van Basten will step down after the Euro 2008 finals, the Dutch FA (KNVB) said on Tuesday.
Van Basten and his assistant John van't Schip will not extend their contracts which expire on June 30.
"After the World Cup finals last year we considered the coming Euro finals as a new challenge and after four years it will be time to work in a new environment," Van Basten was quoted a saying in a Dutch FA statement.
"John and I have no idea what the future will bring us but it was our duty to inform the KNVB, a good employer, in time." (Editing by Ken Ferris)
