Advocat to coach Korea Republic
On Tuesday morning the Korean Football Association announced that Dick Advocaat would be the new coach of their national team, three weeks after his fellow countryman Jo Bonfrere resigned from the post.
Dick Advocaat is the third Dutch coach in charge of Taeguk Warriors following Guus Hiddink and Jo Bonfrere. He was chosen ahead of Berti Vogts and Phillipe Troussier for the vacant position.
Advocaat, a former manager of the Netherlands, was only appointed as manager of the United Arab Emirates in mid-July, but has left the post in order to take the Taeguk Warriors to Germany 2006.
Advocaat has excellent international experience. He led the Netherlands to the quarterfinals of USA 1994 and the semifinals of EURO 2004. He then went on to coach Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach, but left after only six months in charge before he took up the UAE job in July.
