Huub Stevens eyes Feyenoord Rotterdam coaching job – Dutch Eredivisie news
Reports in Dutch media indicate that Huub Stevens has expressed his desire to become Feyenoord Rotterdam’s new manager. The Rotterdam giants are looking for a new coach after Mario Been resigned earlier this week.
The Dutch trainer has been without a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 since he resigned from Red Bull Salzburg managerial hot seat earlier this year. The veteran tactician has shown interest in accepting a challenge at the financially stricken Feyenoord.
“Feyenoord is a great club which is a great challenge for a coach. Anyone who knows me will realise that this is a club which appeals to me”, Stevens said while talking to the journalists.
The 57-year-old started his managerial career with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven and Red Bull Salzburg successively.
The vastly experienced trainer compares the Rotterdam giants with Schalke, where he had the most successful spell, winning the UEFA Cup in 1997 and DFB-Pokal Cup in 2001 and 2002.
“It's similar to Schalke, a club with good, passionate people. Feyenoord is a club for ordinary people who have a good heart”, the Dutch trainer concluded.
Martin van Geel, Feyenoord technical director, has started to look for possible candidates, but did not reveal any names on the shortlist. Van Geel revealed that all the staff was disappointed with the resignation of Been.
“We are like all staff, including medical facilities and people, very surprised at the events. And the way everything went, made us all very disappointed”, Van Geel was quoted as saying in the media.
The Stadiumclub struggled to perform under the leadership of Been in the season ended, but eventually managed to finish 10th in the league table. His impressive performances towards the end of the season were still not enough for the players to
place their trust in his abilities.
With most of the squad members starting to express their doubts regarding Been being the right person to lead their side in the new season, the tactician decided to resign from his post.
Reports suggest that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 faithful want Louis van Gaal as their beloved side’s new coach. However, the club’s financial situation could make it difficult to lure the former Bayern Munich manager to De Kuip Stadion, but Stevens arrival in Rotterdam
could well be within reach of the club management.
