🚨 One month before the World Cup, a coach resigns

Thunderbolt for Curaçao: just one month before its historic first-ever World Cup appearance, the smallest country in the tournament finds itself without a head coach after Fred Rutten’s shock resignation.

Citing a toxic internal climate, the Dutch manager leaves a ship in the middle of a storm before facing Germany in Group E. With urgency mounting, an incredible comeback is taking shape: that of Dick Advocaat.

The architect of the qualification, who had nevertheless resigned last February for personal reasons, is being tipped to take back the reins. If he accepts the challenge, Advocaat (78) would become the oldest coach in World Cup history.
