Dutch coaching legend Dick Advocaat has announced his retirement and will leave the game at the end of Fenerbahce's current campaign.

Daily Sabah and Anadolu confirmed the news of the manager's intentions.

"I am leaving the club by the end of the season," Advocaat said. "I don't see any harm announcing my decision. If I had not, the management would have done it anyway."

Advocaat has been one of the most revered coaches of his generation, managing at the top level for decades.

The Dutchman was in charge of the Netherlands before successful spells with PSV Eindhoven and Glasgow Rangers.
