Former Netherlands international John van’t Schip has resigned as Greece coach after failing to qualify for next year’s World Cup in Qatar. The 58-year-old former Ajax winger stepped down five weeks before his contract expired on Dec. 31. Greece has not reached a major tournament since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Van’t Schip took over in August 2019 and tried to make a shift to a younger generation of players, but the changes failed to make a major impact. The national team finished third in its qualifying group for the World Cup in Qatar behind Spain and Sweden after winning just two of eight games.
