Advocaat to start Dutch rescue mission in June

AFP,  THE HAGUE: Dick Advocaat will take up his role as the new Dutch coach next month, officials said Tuesday, as he looks to salvage the country's faltering 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.
The 69-year-old is returning for a third spell in charge of the Netherlands, who are fourth in Group A ahead of the visit of minnows Luxembourg in just over a fortnight.
Advocaat and former Ballon d'Or winner Gullit were drafted in on a "short-term" rescue mission by the Dutch federation earlier this month, with the pair signing contracts through until the end of the year.
Advocaat, a renowned disciplinarian, replaced Danny Blind after he was sacked in March following a 2-0 defeat in Bulgaria.
