Here's a Regex solution, but you need to change the template a little bit.

string url = "nl/vacature/admin/Employee/home/details/";
string template = "nl/vacature/(?<Model>.*?)/(?<Controller>.*?)/(?<Action>.*?)/(?<Method>.*?)/";
var matches = Regex.Match(url, template).Groups.Cast<Group>().Where(g => !int.TryParse(g.Name, out _)).ToDictionary(m => m.Name, m => m.Value);
// Dictionary<string, string>(4) { { "Model", "admin" }, { "Controller", "Employee" }, { "Action", "home" }, { "Method", "details" } }

However, external parsing library might be a better fit. You can find some URL parser instead of using regex.

Try this:

string url = "nl/vacature/admin/Employee/home/details/";
string template = "nl/vacature/{model}/{controller}/{Action}/{Method}/";

// remove unnecessary parts
template = template.Replace("nl/vacature/", "").Replace("{", "").Replace("}", "");
url = url.Replace("nl/vacature/", "");

// dictionary, that will hold pairs, that you want
var dict = new Dictionary<string,string>();

var urlList = url.Split('/');
var templateList = template.Split('/');

for(int i = 0; i < urlList.Length; i++) 
{
   dict.Add(templateList[i], urlList[i]);
}

I leave to you exception handling in case, that URLs won't consist of the same number of parts.

@ShivangGupta Answer is still valid – Michał Turczyn May 24 '19 at 06:22
can we do this through Regex. which one is better Regex or the above one? – Shivang Gupta May 24 '19 at 06:57
I would say above one, as regex is used to parse single strings (one string at a time), not multiple strings. – Michał Turczyn May 24 '19 at 07:06
