Dick Advocaat, the 78-year-old Dutch coach, has set a new record as the oldest coach to manage a World Cup match. He achieved this milestone while leading Curaçao, the nation with the smallest population to ever compete in a World Cup. The previous record was held by Otto Rehhagel, who was 71 when he coached Greece in the 2010 World Cup. Advocaat, who previously coached the Netherlands in the 1994 World Cup, played a crucial role in bringing Curaçao, with its population of just 160,000, to the tournament.
