The Dutch football association fired national coach Danny Blind on Sunday, a day after his team's humiliating 2-0 defeat to Bulgaria in a World Cup qualifier in Sofia.

Blind took over from veteran Guus Hiddink in 2015, with a mission to kickstart the Dutch team's faltering European Championship qualification campaign.
