Bert van Marwijk silent on Dutch future

Netherlands manager Bert van Marwijk refuses to talk about speculation surrounding his future with the Dutch national side.

Netherlands manager Bert van Marwijk refused to answer questions on his future after his side's Euro 2012 exit.

The Dutch lost all three of their first-round matches, ending with a 2-1 defeat to Portugal on Sunday and finished bottom of Group D. Afterwards, the 60-year-old was reluctant to talk about his future with the national side.

"You can ask me all types of questions, but not about my future," said Van Marwijk.

Despite his reluctance to discuss speculation on his position with the Dutch national side, Van Marwijk has previously accepted responsibility for his country's exit.

"We had to win with a two-goal difference so we had to take a risk and go forward, it started well but then it didn't [go to plan]. We are disappointed we did not play well today. I am disappointed, I am responsible," said the former Borussia Dortmund and Feyernoord boss.

"We started every match well and today the scenario was right when we opened the scoring but then you have to keep that advantage to force your opponent to take more risks.

"But again we proved not able to do that and then we gave the goals away to easy. I am responsible and therefore failed this tournament but at this moment I am not thinking about my future."

Van Marwijk is contracted in his current role until 2016.
