"For your support, especially during difficult times. It was a tremendous honor to represent the Netherlands as national coach.
"I am saying goodbye with mixed feelings.
"Of course, I would have preferred to conclude my time with Oranje with a world title. Unfortunately, that dream remained unfulfilled.
"But above all, pride prevails. Pride in everything football has brought me, in the people I have met, and in the fact that I was able to turn my greatest passion into my profession.
"Thank you for all those years full of trust, criticism, support, disappointments, successes."
The 63-year-old was previously in charge of the Netherlands between February 2018 and August 2020, before leaving to take over at Barcelona.
