Slaven Bilic has announced that he will step down as coach of Croatia's national team after Euro 2012.

The 43-year-old confirmed the news as he unveiled a provisional squad for the tournament in Poland and Ukraine. Bilic took charge of Croatia in July 2006 and led them to the quarter-finals at Euro 2008.

In other managerial moves, League Two Burton Albion have confirmed caretaker Gary Rowett as their new manager on a non-contract basis.

Meanwhile, PSV Eindhoven have appointed Dick Advocaat as their coach for next season. The 64-year-old Dutchman has agreed a one-year contract after Euro 2012, in which he manages Russia.
