		Coach Dick Advocaat may have only guided Holland into the final stages of Euro 2004 by the skin of his teeth, yet his team remain highly fancied to challenge for the trophy this summer.
		Advocaat's current tenure has not been without controversy as he has tried to orchestrate the delicate balancing act of attempting to satisfy a famously hard-to-please Dutch public while keeping his notoriously enigmatic players in check.
		Advocaat succeeded Walter Smith as Rangers boss on July 1 1998, shortly after leaving PSV, and was charged with building a team to continue the club's domination of Scottish football.

		Advocaat was criticised severely by the Dutch media, so much so that several of the team's players refused to speak to the media even after the comfortable and inspired 6-0 victory in the return leg at the Amsterdam ArenA.

		Advocaat’s dominance of Scottish football with the Ibrox club had been arrested, his trophy-winning days as their manager had ended and ten months later he would hand over the reins to Alex McLeish.
