Wesley Sneijder has described the departure of Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk as a "shame".

The 60-year-old ended his four-year tenure with the national team on Wednesday night after they had failed to pick up a single point in the group stages at Euro 2012.

"After we dropped out of the Euros a lot of things were said. It's a shame that a decision has already been made, it's very fast," Sneijder told NOS.

"Van Marwijk has been always very positive with this group of players. We all know that it's very hard to be coach of a national squad. You have to not only deal with the media, but in Netherlands you have to deal with 16 million coaches at home. The pressure is huge."

Among Van Marwijk's notable achievements with the Oranje was guiding them to the 2010 World Cup final, which they eventually lost to Spain.
