Danny Blind vows to stay on as Netherlands coach

Danny Blind insists that he has no plans to step down as Netherlands head coach following the team's failure to qualify for Euro 2016.

Netherlands head coach Danny Blind has insisted that he has no plans to step down following the team's failure to qualify for Euro 2016.

The Dutch were beaten 3-2 by the Czech Republic in Amsterdam on Tuesday night to end their hopes of reaching the playoffs.

Blind, who took over at the start of July after Guus Hiddink's departure, has now lost three of his four matches in charge.

"I'm going to carry on with my work because I'm under contract until 2018 and I believe in this team," BBC Sport quotes Blind as saying.

"I haven't achieved my goal. The aim was to qualify automatically or via the playoffs and I haven't done that. Am I the one to blame? I now have to analyse that. The results weren't good."

The Netherlands have failed to qualify for their first major tournament since the 2002 World Cup, while they last failed to make it to the European Championships in 1984.
