Marco van Basten yet to be approached by FC Twente Enschede – Eredivisie news
Reports from Enschede confirm that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede have not approached Marco van Basten for the coaching job at De Grolsch Veste. Co Adriaanse seems the leading candidate to guide the Tukkers in the 2011/12 campaign.
The Tukkers are in search of a manager following the departure of Michel Preud’homme to Saudi Premier League outfit, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Al-Shabab-c38361 Riyadh, earlier this week. Earlier reports had tipped Van Basten as the favourite to take over the charge of the KNVB beker Cup
winners. However, Perry Overeem, Van Basten’s agent, has confirmed that the Tukkers have not contacted him or his client regarding the possibility of leading the Eredivisie outfit.
“Twente have not made an approach yet. I cannot say whether Marco would be interested in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. We have agreed not to make it public whether Marco is interested in taking over at a certain club”, Overeem was quoted as saying to the media.
Recent reports suggest that the Tukkers have set their sights on Co Adriaanse, who has been successful in his earlier spells in the Dutch top tier. The 63-year-old has been searching for a new home after his dismissal from the Olympic Qatar’s managerial
hot seat earlier this year, and reports confirm that the Dutch trainer is keen to return to his native country.
The Dutchman started his managerial career in 1984/85 season with PEC Zwolle. Since then, he has coached the likes of AZ Alkmaar, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Willem-II-c40945 Tilburg and Red Bull Salzburg. His impressive tactical approach was evident in his stint
at Koning II Stadion, when he guided the Tricolores to Champions League in 2000 and managed to reach the semi-finals of UEFA Cup with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 in 2005.
Earlier reports had suggested that the Tukkers and the 63-year-old tactician were in talks for the coaching job at De Grolsch Veste and sources reveal that both parties are working on a long-term deal.
