    Most nations managed?

    Just quickly skimming the Wiki entry for Dick Advocaat, I see that in addition to several club management roles, he has also managed the national sides of 6 different countries: NL, UAE, S Korea, Belgium, Russia and Serbia.

    [Edit: I see the UAE stint barely counts as he lasted two friendly matches before dumping them for S Korea.]

    Is that a record for the most different national sides managed by one man?

      Bora Milutinovic managed eight - Mexico (twice), Costa Rica, USA, Nigeria, China, Honduras, Jamaica, Iraq. I suspect that someone may have done more - possibly one of the European coaches that seem to go from country to country in Africa.

            Damn, scooped by minutes. And I was about to look up Rudi Gutendorf.

              Milutinovic has managed the most in World Cups I think or taken the most, at least.

                I think that's right, though he may eventually be overtaken by Troussier or one of the other "African specialists".

                  Spotted that straight away- the one and only Rudi Gutendorf, has coached so many national sides its hard to count them all.

                  Was absolutely hated by the players when he coached Australia.
