The coaching will be taken over by Cor Pot, Advocaat’s loyal assistant, and Dean Gorré. The duo remains in contact with the 78-year-old lawyer. FKK president Gilbert Martina fully respects the choice of the Hague coach, in his own words. “We will support him.”
Captain Leandro Bacuna, who scored during Thursday’s 7-0 win over Bermuda, responded from the players’ hotel in the Jamaican capital with both emotion and determination: “We have to show that we are one family. We now also play for our coach.”
