PSV Eindhoven want Fred Rutten

Defending Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven are still looking for a new coach after the departure of Huub Stevens. The club reportedly set their sights on Schalke 04 boss Fred Rutten.

A regional newspaper reports that Rutten is "an important candidate" to take over from caretaker manager Dwight Lodeweges.

Rutten spent his entire playing career at FC Twente, where he also had two stints as manager. However, from 2001 to 2006 he worked at PSV.

After another, successful spell at Twente, the coach left the Netherlands to join Schalke 04 in Germany.
