Legendary Rangers boss Dick Advocaat comes out of retirement AGAIN for his 28th job in management
DICK ADVOCAAT rarely stays unemployed for long.
Be that through his own choice and personal retirements or the hiring and firing of the football business.
The 'Little General' has an astonishing record - and that includes great success at Rangers.
But he's ready to add to the reams and reams on his already lengthy CV with yet another job - seven months after his last spell in the dugout.
Advocaat is a Gers legend having secured a domestic clean sweep with the Treble in 1998-99 having brought stars like Arthur Numan and Giovanni van Brocnkhorst.
He also has the big-spending reputation of breaking the Scottish transfer record with Tore Andre Flo - a £12m fee that still stands today.

But there will be no wheeling and dealing for the boss in his latest job - but he might cross paths with an ex-Ger.
The Dutchman is ready to return to the dugout as Curacao manager, according to ESPN.
He has signed a one-year contract with the option to extend until 2026.
The ex-Netherlands boss will be joined by Kees Jansma, Cor Pot and Khalid Sinouh to complete his technical staff.

The new team is now targeting qualification for the 2025 Gold Cup, which features national teams from North and Central America as well as the Caribbean.
But with the Dutchman's arrival they could also be dreaming of making it to the 2024 Copa America and 2026 World Cup.
Among the players at his disposal for the little nation with a population of 150,000 will be ex-Gers flop Juninho Bacuna.
The attacking midfielder arrived at Ibrox under Steven Gerrard from Huddersfield but failed to make an impact and was shipped back out to Birmingham City shortly afterwards.
The Dutch-born 26-year-old has 27 caps for his country.
Advocaat amassed tremendous experience as well as success during his 44-year career, taking charge of Sunderland in the English top flight.
He managed some of the Netherlands' biggest clubs, such as PSV Eindhoven, AZ Alkmaar, Feyenoord and of course the national team.
And the experienced gaffer won the Eredivisie title with PSV in 1997 as well as the 2008 Uefa Cup with Zenit St Petersburg - beating Rangers in the final.
