He replaces Gus Poyet who was sacked yesterday with the club one place and one point outside the Premier League relegation places.

A former PSV and Rangers boss, Advocaat recently had an unsuccessful four-month spell in charge of Serbia.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his side have the belief they can overturn their Champions League last-16 tie against Monaco tonight.

They're 3-1 down going into the second leg and need to score at least three times to have a chance of going through to the quarter-finals.

Tonight's other tie sees Bayer Leverkusen take a 1-nil lead to last year's beaten finalists Atletico Madrid.
