Advocaat leaves Zenit
Zenit St Petersburg and coach Dick Advocaat have parted company, bringing a premature end to the Dutchman’s three-year spell with the Russian club.
The former Rangers and Holland boss took over from Czech Vlastimil Petrzhela in the summer of 2006 and enjoyed huge success, leading Zenit to the 2007 Russian title, the 2008 UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
