MOSCOW, May 12 (RIA Novosti) - Zenit St. Petersburg trainer Dick Advocaat could combine his duties as club manager with the post of coach of the Belgian national side, the Sovetski Sport paper said on Tuesday.

Belgian FA officials are due in St. Petersburg for talks with Advocaat, 61, in the next few days, the paper wrote. The report also said that Advocaat was the Belgians' preferred candidate for the post, but that they lacked the means to buy out his contract with Zenit, which runs until the end of 2009.

Dutch trainer Advocaat, who has won the UEFA Cup and the Russian Premier League title with Zenit since taking over at the club in 2006, has already admitted holding talks in April with Belgian officials.

Advocaat has previously managed his native Holland (twice), South Korea and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Glasgow Rangers and Germany's Borussia Monchengladbach.
