The team also failed to reach last summer's European Championships. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed the appointments of Advocaat and Gullit at a news conference on Tuesday. In his previous spells as national team coach, Advocaat led the Netherlands to the 1994 World Cup quarter-finals and the semi-finals of Euro 2004. Fenerbahce are third in the Super Lig, eight points behind leaders Besiktas, with four games to go.
