SYDNEY, Nov 17(AFP): Dutchman Dick Advocaat has stunned Australian football by turning down the chance to coach the Socceroos, reports said here today.
Football Federation Australia (FFA) is reportedly holding crisis talks this weekend after Advocaat, who was set to be confirmed in the role this weekend after attending Australia's friendly against Nigeria in London, knocked back an offer to lead the national team in the World Cup qualifiers.
Just 81 days before Australia's opening qualifier in February, the FFA now has to renew its search for a coach and find a big-name overseas name to replace Dutchman Guus Hiddink.
