According to ESPN, Dick Advocaat is in talks to become the Curaçao national team’s head coach. The 75-year-old has nearly 40 years of management experience, having previously led the Netherlands national team, Rangers, Sunderland, PSV, Feyenoord, and numerous more clubs. The talks with the Curaçao Union are still underway, but things are looking up.
Advocaat will succeed Remko Bicentini as manager of Curaçao. Bicentini was fired after the country failed to qualify for the Gold Cup after losing to Saint Kitts and Nevis. Following Bicentini’s departure, Dean Gorré was named interim coach.
Dick Advocaat was the manager of ADO Den Haag in the Eerste Divisie before stepping down in June. He is about to begin his sixth stint as national team head coach. He formerly oversaw the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Russia, Serbia, and Iraq. He is still going strong at 75 years old and hopes to continue his successful career as a manager.
