The Netherlands successfully qualified for Euro 2008, finding themselves in the formidable "Group of Death" alongside France, Italy, and Romania. They kicked off the tournament with a stunning 3–0 victory over reigning world champions Italy in Bern, marking their first win against the Italians since 1978. Continuing their impressive form, they secured a 4–1 victory against France, securing their spot in the second round. Despite fielding mainly reserve players, they clinched the group's top spot with nine points after defeating Romania 2–0. However, their journey came to an end in the quarter-finals, where they faced Guus Hiddink's Russia. Despite Ruud van Nistelrooy's 86th-minute equalizer that forced extra time, the Dutch eventually succumbed to a 3–1 defeat, with the Russians scoring twice through Andrey Arshavin. Following the tournament, Van Basten resigned from his position, having accepted a role at Ajax.
