Fenerbahce boss Advocaat to retire at end of season

The former Netherlands and South Korea coach will quit the game at the end of the season after a successful career in the dugout

Former Netherlands and South Korea coach Dick Advocaat has announced he will retire once he leaves Fenerbahce at the end of the season.

Advocaat, 69, has been in charge of the Turkish club since August last year, having resigned at Sunderland in October 2015.

The Dutchman said on Friday he will step down, with Fenerbahce sitting fourth in the Turkish Super Lig.

"Finally, I will leave here at the end of the season," Advocaat said.
