Sunderland New Manager: 7 Things You Need To Know About Dick Advocaat

4. He's Won Championships In Three Counties

Advocaat advocates would point to his trophy cabinet for evidence of his ability. He has won four top-flight titles in total: one with PSV, two with Rangers, and one with Zenit St. Petersburg. His most impressive achievement is the 2008 UEFA Cup triumph, leading Zenit to a 2-0 victory over his old Scottish employers in the final. The city was so enamoured as a result of this success that it made Advocaat an Honorary Citizen of St. Petersburg, the first foreigner to achieve such recognition since 1866. However, this did not stop the club from sacking him after a poor run of results left the club 7th in the league the following year.
