Coaching career

He then moved onto coaching at the tender age of 32, starting at Haarlem and S.V.V. before becoming assistant to footballing legend Rinus Michels at the Dutch national team.

He led the Dutch team to the quarter-finals of the 1994 World Cup as Head Coach in his first spell in charge (1992-1994). The Dutch, while managing to stave off the infighting which have plagued talented Dutch teams of the past under his tutelage, were defeated by Brazil in the quarter-finals. This signalled the end of Advocaat's debut international coaching career. Qualifying countries The 1994 FIFA World Cup, the 15th staging of the FIFA World Cup, was held in the United States from June 17 to July 17, 1994. ...


He then returned to coaching at club level at first with PSV where he won his first trophy as coach winning the Dutch Cup in 1996 and the Dutch League Championship a year later.

He successfully reclaimed the Scottish Premier League crown, with his first season in charge culminating with a spectacular treble achievement (two cup victories, as well as the league). Under his tutelage, Rangers played regular bursts of brilliant one-touch football - with recruitments from Holland such as Arthur Numan and Ronald de Boer to the fore. A season later he again won the Scottish League championship and guided Rangers into the UEFA Champions League having beaten the UEFA Cup winners Parma A.C. in the 3rd round qualifier. However, after claiming it would take Celtic ten years to catch up to Rangers, the arrival of Martin O'Neill at Celtic put pressure on Advocaat as Celtic won a domestic treble in season 2000-01. Poor lapses of judgement saw the likes of Marcus Gayle, Paul Ritche & Tore Andre Flo transferred to Ibrox - the latter for a record £12million - and stalwarts of the club such as Jorg Albertz clashed with Advocaat's abrasive style. These players were swiftly removed, often in exchange for lower-quality replacements, as financial reality dawned. Celtic looked like retaining the league championship half way through the next season and as a result Advocaat was moved upstairs from the manager's position. Alex McLeish was appointed as his successor with Advocaat moving to the position of General Manager. After ensuring that Rangers built a first-rate, multi-million pound training facility Murray Park, Dick Advocaat left Rangers for Holland as McLeish went on to have a successful run as Rangers' Manager.

He rejoined the national team set-up following Louis van Gaal's failure to take the national team to the 2002 World Cup in January 2002 and presided over the Netherlands' qualification for Euro 2004 via the play-offs. Holland had finished second in their group behind the Czech Republic and therefore went into a play-off in order to qualify for Euro 2004. They managed to achieve this after a 6-1 aggregate win over Scotland but not before surviving a harrowing encounter: losing 1-0 in the first leg in Scotland. Advocaat was criticised severely by the Dutch media, so much so that several of the team's players refused to speak to the media even after the comfortable and inspired 6-0 victory in the return leg at the Amsterdam ArenA. For a short time after that, the football world placed trust in Advocaat that he was the coach to bring glory to the hotly-favored 'Oranje'.

Despite taking Holland to the semi-final stage of Euro 2004, the Dutch media were critical of Advocaat. Holland were beaten 2-1 by Portugal in the semi-finals of Euro 2004 after a dismal performance. The team also made several criticisms of his tactics, especially those in the team's shock loss to the Czech Republic in the second game of the first round of the tournament. In that game, after Netherlands lost their two goal lead against Czechs, Advocaat made a tactical change that shocked even his own players as he brought on the ageing Paul Bosvelt in midfield position replacing crowd favorite Arjen Robben who had been contributing immensely throughout the match. The Czechs seized the opportunity to capitalise on it and scored decisive goal. Shortly after the tournament with even death threats posted to him, Advocaat quit his job as head coach on July 6, 2004. He then went briefly back into club management with German team Borussia Mönchengladbach however he resigned on 18 April 2005 after less than six months at the helm.

His nickname is "The Little General", which is a reference to his mentor Rinus Michels' sobriquet "The General".


In July 2005, he took a job as coach of United Arab Emirates, but quit in September to work with Korea Republic's national team. Expectations were high after the Koreans' achievements on home soil back in 2002 FIFA World Cup. In the 2006 edition, Korea got its first win on away soil in the FIFA World Cup finals with a 2-1 victory over Togo. They also scored a late equalizer to draw 1-1 against veterans France, and the results of the two games put them in a position to qualify from the tight group. However, Korea failed to make it into the round of 16 after a 2-0 loss against Switzerland, while France had defeated Togo 2-0 to advance, which was a disappointing end to what had been a promising start for the Koreans. 2002 World Cup redirects here. ... 2006 World Cup redirects here. ...

Advocaat had signed a contract with the Football Federation of Australia in August to replace Guus Hiddink as the coach of the Australian national team as soon as his contract with Zenit expired. However, after winning the Russian Premier league, Zenit offered Advocaat a $4 million-a-year extension which he accepted on November 16, 2007.

Dick Advocaat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (790 words)
Dick Advocaat (born September 27, 1947 in Den Haag, Netherlands) was head coach of the Dutch national football team and, in his younger years, a football player.
Alex McLeish was appointed as his successor with Advocaat moving to the position of General Manager.
Advocaat was criticised severely by the Dutch media, so much so that several of the team's players refused to speak to the media even after the comfortable and inspired 6-0 victory in the return leg at the Amsterdam ArenA.
