The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 boss has agreed to coach the Eindhoven giants for one season and will groom Phillip Cocu or Ernest Faber to take over the managerial hot seat in the 2013/14 season.
Reports from Philips Stadion confirm that d**k Advocaat has agreed to take over the managerial hot seat at PSV Eindhoven from interim coach, Phillip Cocu.
The veteran tactician, who is currently in-charge of Russian National Football team, will sign a one-year contract and will groom one of his assistants, Cocu or Ernest Faber, to be his successor in the 2013/14 campaign.
The 64-year-old will step down as the Russia boss after EURO 2012 to take the reins of the Eindhoven giants.
According to sources in Eindhoven, the vastly experienced tactician insisted to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 management that he will only sign a one-year deal. The Dutch trainer will nurture either Cocu or Faber during his one-season stay at Philips Stadion, ensuring that one of them gets ready to become his successor the following campaign.
Cocu was appointed as the assistant coach in the summer of 2009, and has now become the head coach after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
Faber returned to Philips Stadion from FC Eindhoven in March to assist Cocu. However, reports confirm that the 40-year-old will remain part of the coaching staff, and will take guidance from Advocaat.
A source was quoted as saying to goal.com:
“It will be a transition year for PSV. Advocaat will educate Cocu and Faber in order for one of them to take over as head coach next year”.
Advocaat, who started his managerial career in the summer of 1981 at DSVP, had a three-year stint as the PSV head coach from 1995-1998. During his three-season tenure, the Boeren managed to lift the Eredivisie title and also added KNVB beker Cup and Johan Cruijff Schaal to their trophy cabinet.
