By: j | June 3rd, 2009

In an absolutely stunning move, Dick Advocaat has resigned from Zenit Saint Petersburg and will now manage the Belgian national team. While the sixty-two year old leader had recently noted the in the media that, “Zenit will by my last club. I will be 62 by the end of the year, so it is time to change my life a little bit”, it is certainly a surprise for the clubs loyal supporters.

Mr. Advocaat leaves Saint Petersburg after three years of loyal service that includes the winning the Rosgosstrakh Russian Football Championship, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

  So basically Advocaat is taking a six month vacation and will land at a struggling big club by midseason.

  Yevy, good to hear from you my friend.

  This had been rumoured but still it surprises me. I understand the pressure of Zenit is trying and he has seen his side dismantled of late but I didn’t expect him to make the move to Belgium.

  Hope all is well with you

  That is big loss… Zenit really have become one of the best after his reign. Who will replace him?
