Netherlands coach Blind adamant he will not resign

Danny Blind is adamant he will not step down as Netherlands coach regardless of the outcome of Tuesday's World Cup qualifier versus Sweden.

Netherlands boss Danny Blind has stressed he will not offer his resignation if his side fails to beat Sweden in Tuesday's opening World Cup 2018 qualifier.

Blind has received his fair share of criticism since replacing Guus Hiddink as national team coach, but the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) stood by their man even after they failed to qualify for Euro 2016.

The 55-year-old remains under pressure, though, and reports from Netherlands suggest he could be on his way out if the Dutch fail to defeat Sweden.
