Football coach Dick Advocaat gets ‘enormous’ offer from Russia

Football coach Dick Advocaat has received an ‘enormous’ offer from the Russian football federation to take over from Guus Hiddink, the AD reports on Friday.

‘The offer is enormous and I have to say its a big challenge. You have to think about it,’ Hiddink told the paper, adding that he has not yet signed a contract. ‘Of course finances play a part. I’m not going to lie about it. There’s a great offer on the table.’
Advocaat has also broken his contract to coach the Belgian national team, which runs until 2012.
‘I understand people won’t like what has happened but it is better to be clear about things. And Belgium has five months to find a replacement for me,’ he told the paper.
According to Reuters, Belgium’s football association said it would seek legal advice to determine what action to take.
