Former head coach of the Curaçao national football team, Dick Advocaat, is preparing to return to the team before the 2026 World Cup.
İdman.Biz reports that this was reported by "Voetbal International".
It is reported that the stabilization of the family situation allowed him to return to work.
Advocaat is noted as the coach who led the Curaçao team to the final stage of the World Cup for the first time in its history. After he left in February, the team was coached by Fred Rutten. After Rutten's resignation, the way was opened for the return of the Dutch specialist.
The Curaçao team will compete in the same group with Germany, Ecuador and Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup.
If Advocaat appears at the World Cup at the head of the team, he may be the oldest head coach in the history of the World Championships. The current record belongs to Otto Rehhagel.
