Dick Advocaat har gått med på att återvända som förbundskapten för Curaçaos landslag inför VM 2026. Beslutet kommer efter att hans efterträdare Fred Rutten avgått bara en månad innan turneringen börjar.
Advocaat, 78, hade lett laget till dess första VM-kvalificering någonsin innan han avgick i februari av familjeskäl. Hans dotters hälsa har förbättrats sedan dess, vilket fick förbundet att söka hans återkomst trots tidigare rapporter om att han var tveksam till att komma tillbaka.
