AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - New Dutch coach Dick Advocaat is confident he can kickstart their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign but concedes he has little time to get it right.

The 69-year-old, who becomes the country's oldest coach, will be assisted by Ruud Gullit. Advocaat will leave Turkish side Fenerbahce at the end of the current season to lead the national team for a third time.
