The 2017 European champions were knocked out by France in the quarter-finals. "The KNVB and Mark Parsons have made a combined decision to part ways," the federation said in a statement.

In the run-up and during Euro 2022 "the level of play and results were not forthcoming and we cannot allow that," it added, stating that a new coach would take over for the next series of World Cup qualifiers. "It's not a nice decision, but that's also part of top-level football," said women's football director Dirk Jan van der Zee.

Last year, Englishman Parsons, 36, took over from Sarina Wiegman, who led the Dutch to Euro 2017 victory -- and last month did the same with England.
