Advocaat to leave Netherlands job after Scotland and Romania friendlies

Related Topics: Netherlands, Dick Advocaat

Dick Advocaat has confirmed he will leave the role of Netherlands head coach when his contract expires after the friendly matches against Scotland and Romania.

Advocaat, 70, took charge of his country for a third time in May after the sacking of Danny Blind.

Netherlands won four of their five World Cup qualifiers under Advocaat, but that was not enough to see them reach Russia, as they were forced to settle for third place in Group A behind France and Sweden.

The Oranje play against Scotland in Aberdeen on Thursday, before a trip to Bucharest to face Romania next Tuesday in a match that will be Advocaat's last at the helm.
