🥹 Dick Advocaat was in tears before Curaçao's World Cup opener against Germany.
The 78-year-old led the island nation of just 150,000 people to their first-ever World Cup, calling it the most unbelievable achievement of his near 40-year managerial career.
However, in February, he was forced to step down as head coach due to his daughter's health issues, stating that 'family comes before football.'
But after returning in May, Advocaat has now made history as the oldest manager ever to take charge of a World Cup match at 78 years and 280 days old. 🇨🇼
