Advocaat to retire at season-end

Istanbul: Turkish club Fenerbahce’s well travelled manager Dick Advocaat is retiring at the end of the season, the Dutchman drawing the curtain on his three-decade career. “The decision was already made by me that I will quit at the end (of the season) and quit means I stop,” Advocaat told reporters after Fenerbahce lost 2-3 at home to Konyaspor late on Friday. “Not only at Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce will be my final club,” he added. Advocaat, who had managed teams from Rangers in Scotland to Zenit in Russia to Sunderland in England, joined Fenerbahce in the pre-season on a one year deal.
