The Netherlands women's team, under coach Andries Jonker, faced a disappointing Euro 2025, finishing with one win and nine goals conceded in three matches. The team's campaign included a heavy loss to England and a fleeting lead against France before conceding three goals in a matter of minutes. Initially, there was optimism for Jonker's tenure due to his previous experience, but turbulence plagued his reign, raising questions about the team's status as a European powerhouse and overall performance.
Jonker's tenure has always been somewhat turbulent. Results led to widespread support, but poor performances quickly turned the crowd's favor. When things turned ugly, questions arose about whether Netherlands still deserved to be called a European powerhouse.
After losing 4-0 to England and taking a 2-1 lead against France, conceding three goals in six minutes ended any slim hopes. The Dutch only managed one win in their three games, letting in nine goals total.
Despite a tough group including top-ranked teams, the Netherlands had a dismal Euro 2025 campaign, marked by controversy and poor tactical decisions, narrowly avoiding their worst-ever performance.
There was initial optimism with Jonker's arrival, hoping to rekindle the success from Wiegman's management that brought the Euro 2017 title and second place at the 2019 World Cup.
