| New
contract for PSV's André Ooijer |
12 July 2002
|
|
André Ooijer has signed a new 5-year contract
with PSV. The defender, who's just turned 28, will stay at the Philips
stadium till 2007. He's been with the Eindhoven club since 1998,
previously turning out for Ajax, Volendam and Roda JC. Ooijer was one of
the few dependables in a shaky looking PSV eleven last season, after
several years of being plagued by injury, and put in some fine
performances in defence as well as in midfield, when he substituted for an
absent Mark van Bommel, leading to a callup for the Dutch national team,
Oranje.

| PSV
kickoff with 1-10 win against ASVD |
12 July 2002
|
|
PSV have kicked-off the first of their
pre-season friendlies with a 1-10 win against amateurs ASVD from Dronten.
Mateja Kezman and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar both scored hattricks, Jan Vennegoor
of Hesselink put away two while Arnold Bruggink and birthday-boy André
Ooijer each put away one-a-piece. The squad's new boys, Ten Rouwelaar,
Robben, Van der Schaaf, Edno, Lamey and Wilson all got in some
playing-time too.

| Hiddink's
face on Korean stamp! |
12 July 2002
|
|
The South Korean Post Office are to publish a
series of postage stamps with the likenesses of trainer Guus Hiddink and
the 23 World Cup footballers he guided to such unexpected success in
reaching the semi-finals of the tournament. After receiving all kinds of
accolades and achieving an almost god-like status he's certainly become
the Koreans' most popular foreigner ever! Hiddink is not the first
Dutchman to find his face on a stamp though as Guinee-Bissau published a
stamp at the beginning of this year with the likeness of Olympic judo
champion Mark Huizinga!

| PSV
sign young Brazilian 'star' |
10 July 2002
|
|
PSV have signed young Brazilian player 'Edno'
Robert Cunha - the 19 year-old was playing for Anai, one of Brazil's less
'famous' clubs, and will be trying to make an impression on Guss Hiddink
from the ranks of the reserve team at the Philips Stadium. The Eindhoven
side have made a name for themselves by signing unknown Brazilians, such
as Romario, Vampeto and Ronaldo, whose careers take off and turn out to be
world class players!

| Hiddink
new PSV coach! |
08 July 2002
|
|
Guus Hiddink has finally signed on the dotted
line with PSV and will be their trainer for the coming two years after
negotiations were completed this morning. He'll be having a short holiday,
and a chance to catch his breath after all the World Cup excitement of
recent weeks in Korea, before commencing work in Eindhoven and assistant
trainer Erwin Koeman will lead the training sessions until Hiddink
returns. Hiddink had a playing career with De Graafschap, PSV, NEC, plus
US sides Washington Diplomats and San Jose Earthquakes. His first taste of
coaching was as assistant trainer with De Graafschap in 1982, moving on to
PSV a year later where he was also assistant for 3 years before taking
over as coach. He had a successful period with the club and crowned it by
winning the European Cup I in 1988. He then went on to work with
Fenerbahce, Valencia, Oranje, Real Madrid, Betis Sevilla and finally South
Korea!

| PSV
target Egyptian striker |
08 July 2002
|
|
According to Egyptian newspaper "Al-Ahram",
PSV are targeting Khaled Aly and are prepared to pay €2 million Euros
for the 25 year-old forward at trainer Jo Bonfrère's new club Al Ahly.
The Egyptian side are currently in Holland for a training-camp. and it's
expected that negotiations leading to a deal could be closed this week!
|
| PSV
to close deal with Hiddink tomorrow? |
07 July 2002
|
|
PSV expect to complete
their negotiations with Guus Hiddink within the next 24 hours. Hiddink is
flying into Amsterdam Schiphol airport this evening and flying on to
Eindhoven totalks tonight or tomorrow morning. It's expected that
the coach will sign for two years. Frank Arnesen will stay on as technical
director, responsible for player-acquisitions and sales, while assistant-trainer
Erwin Koeman and Fred Rutten, who's in charge of the youth scheme, will
both be added to the trainer's staff. A press conference has been
announced for Monday morning at 11.00 hours when Hiddink should be
presented as the new trainer.
|
| PSV
have first training session |
06 July 2002
|
|
PSV put their squad through some stringent
medical examinations on Thursday and Friday but the first training session
of the pre-season preparations began in earnest today. After the
traditional (and much hated) cross-country run they held a training
session at the "Herdgang" with plenty of Asiatic interest! Even
before Guus Hiddink is installed as the new trainer Korean journalists are
already taking in the sights and getting some of those PSV-faces on film
with no less than two camera crews!! Mateja Kezman showed off his new
hairdo with a blonde Beckham-mohican. Newcomers Arjen Robben, Remco van
der Schaaf, Michael Lamey, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Lindsay Wilson made
their first public appearances with only the Danish World Cup contingent
missing.

| Arsenal
offer Kanu & cash for Van Bommel |
06 July 2002
|
| PSV
chairman Harry van Raaij has been speaking of Arsenal's attempt to do a
deal involving Nigerian striker Kanu in part-exchange for Mark van Bommel.
The Eindhoven side rejected the offer, after all why should Van Raaij buy
another striker when he already has Vennegoor of Hesslink, Kezman,
Bruggink and De Jong to choose from? While not expecting any players to
actually leave the club, especially now that Guus Hiddink looks likely to
take over as coach, Van Raaij recognises the ambitions of Van Bommel,
Hofland and Kezman to move on to greater things. Anyone wishing to do so
has till the August 31st transfer deadline to do so! The PSV supremo also
expects that Hiddink will want to prune back the squad a bit and some
departures are still on the cards. In any case Kevin Hofland has already
stated that Hiddink's imminent arrival has persuaded him to stay another
year in Eindhoven. The defender thinks that with an intact squad PSV will
be in an excellent position to wrest back the Ere Divisie title from
rivals Ajax this coming season, which for them kicks-off on August 17th at
Excelsior!
|
| PSV
confident Hiddink will choose Eindhoven |
03 July 2002
|
| PSV's
communications officer Pedro Salazar expects that, once all the post-World
Cup celebrations in South Korea are over and despite the continuing
stories linking Guus Hiddink to the vacancy at Leeds United, the coach
will return to Eindhoven to continue talks and eventually to take over at
the Philips Stadium. Speaking to English TV channel "Sky Sports"
Salazar said, "Obviously Hiddink's achievements in Korea have not
gone unnoticed by the rest of the world but we remain confident that he'll
be travelling first to Eindhoven on his return from Asia".
Hiddink himself
will be keeping in touch with the Korean team by staying on as technical
advisor.
|
| Hiddink
confirms PSV move |
01 July 2002
|
| Guus
Hiddink has finally confirmed that he's going to be the new coach at PSV
Eindhoven - just as soon as he's recovered from all the excitement
surrounding his achievements with the South Korean national team. There
are still some last minute parties and celebrations for him to attend in
the country that has already showered all kinds of accolades on the
'Achterhoeker'. After that he needs to clear his mind of the excitement of
the last few months and get his head in shape for the job-at-hand in
Holland. The news will come as somewhat of a relief to PSV chairman Harry
van Raaij who may well have been worried that the vacancy at Leeds United
resulting from O'Leary's sacking may have been a tempting alternative for
Hiddink!

| PSV
miss Marquinho till February |
26 Jun 2002
|
| PSV
will miss their young Brazilian player Marquinho till February 2003 after
it was discovered that the 20 year-old will need a second operation on his
right knee. He'd already undergone surgery to correct an injury he'd
picked up in a match with Jong PSV last April and had travelled back to
Brazil to recuperate but will now be going back into hospital for extra
surgery. Marquinho swapped São Paulo for PSV in 2000 and has played 3
matches so far for the Eindhoven side.

| Arsenal
make serious bid for PSV duo |
21 Jun 2002
|
| According
to a story in London's daily newspaper, "The Evening Standard",
Arsenal have offered PSV €39 million Euros for Mark van Bommel and Kevin
Hofland. The Gunners have made a bid which meets the demands set out in
the players' contracts, Van Bommel costs €22 million Euros and Hofland
€17 million Euros. The Premiership side have been following the two
players for some time, Van Bommel is reported to have been to London a
couple of weeks ago with his manager Rob Jansen and Hofland's agent Arnold
Oosterveer has also held talks with the North London side.

| Guus
Hiddink new PSV coach |
21 Jun 2002
|
| Guus
Hiddink, currently enjoying huge and unexpected success with the South
Korean team at the World Cup, is to be the new PSV coach. Chairman Harry
van Raaij will be travelling to Asia in a few days to seal the deal.
According to Dutch daily newspaper the "Algemeen Dagblad" the
negotiations, which have taken place during the last 3 weeks, are almost
complete and should see Hiddink sign a contract for two years at the end
of which he'll become the Eindhoven side's technical director.
Hiddink achieved considerable success when he coached the team in the late
1980s and Van Raaij is confident that the coach's input will result in
equally satisying results when he takes over. For a while it looked as if
the Korean team's World Cup achievements would become an obstacle to the
negotiations but Van Raaij emailed Hiddink after the win against Italy and
received a positive reply.
|
| PSV
reject Villa bid for Rommedahl |
19 Jun 2002
|
| PSV
have rejected an offer from Aston Villa for Danish international Dennis
Rommedahl. Talking to Danish newspaper the "Ekstra Bladet", the
Eindhoven side's technical manager Frank Arnesen said that the bid was
simply too low to take seriously and the clubs have not even met to
discuss the offer. PSV are said to be asking €12 million Euros for the
winger who was watched by Villa manager Graham Taylor in action for
Denmark in the World Cup. Rommedahl
is also being targeted by Newcastle United and Valencia but neither club have
yet made an official bid for him.

| KV
Mechelen want PSV's Erwin Koeman |
19 Jun 2002
|
| Belgian
side KV Mechelen have approached PSV for Erwin Koeman who they want to
become their new trainer. It's a great opportunity for Koeman to become
head-trainer but he has also told PSV that he would like to succeed Erik
Gerets in Eindhoven. The former Dutch international (31 caps) has told the
club of his desire to take over the reins but he obviously faces strong
competition from the likes of Guus Hiddink (currently doing wonderful
things with South Korea), RKC's Martin Jol and Frank Rijkaard. Koeman has
heard nothing officially from the newly promoted Belgian club for whom he
played between 1985 and 1990. In the 1987/1988 season he won the European
Cup Winers Cup with them with a 1-0 win against Ajax.
|
| Pim
Verbeek new PSV2 trainer |
19 Jun 2002
|
| Guus
Hiddink looks increasingly likely to take over at PSV now that it's been
announced that his current assistant in South Korea, Pim Verbeek, will be
PSV's new reserve team trainer. At the end of the 1980s Verbeek was
regarded as the man to watch by the Dutch trainers association. He gained
promotion to the Ere Divisie with De Graafschap and, at 33 years of age,
was Feyenoord's youngest ever coach. His time at the Kuip was not a happy
one and he moved on to coach Groningen, Fortuna Sittard and Omiya Ardija
before Hiddink asked him to join him in Korea two years ago. The duo are
more or less an inseperable pair and PSV's technical manager, Frank
Arnesen, has announced that the club expect an answer from Hiddink in the
course of this week.

| PSV
football farewell party for Erik Gerets |
17 Jun 2002
|
| PSV
wish to bid farewell to their Belgian coach Erik Gerets with a
football-feast involving a match between a PSV team from 1988 and a
star-eleven including Brazilian star Romário. "Gerets has done a lot
for the club in the last 3 years and the supporters have asked for the
chance to take their leave of the coach." according to chairman Harry
van Raaij. The match is planned for August 6th while on the same day the
current PSV eleven will play a friendly against Dutch trainer Huub
Stevens' new club Hertha BSC. |
| Arsenal
ask PSV for Hofland's price |
17 Jun 2002
|
| Arsenal
have made an official approach to PSV for Kevin Hofland and asked how much
the Dutch defender will cost them. The price is expected to be in the
region of €20 million Euros for the 23 year-old who's interested in a
move to the top English side. "The Gunners" manager Arsene
Wenger has had his eye on Hofland, as well as teammate Mark van Bommel,
for some time now and he's perhaps lining him up to take over Tony Adams
place in the team.
|
| Martin
Jol favourite for PSV job? |
14 Jun 2002
|
| The PSV
squad seem equally divided concerning who the next trainer should be, with
one half choosing Guus Hiddink and the other half Martin Jol as no.1
candidate on their lists of favourites for the job, while Frank Rijkaard
is in 3rd place. Chairman Harry van Raaij has not approached anyone for
the vacancy as yet and the club's technical staff will also be consulted
before any moves are made. Kevin Hofland would personally like to see Jol
get the job as he's achieved so much with RKC and is well known for his
honesty and presentation to the media.

| TOP
Oss sign PSV's Guido Budziak |
13 Jun 2002
|
| Eerste
Divisie side TOP Oss have signed PSV's Guido Budziak on a contract for 2
years. The Eindhoven club are also hiring out young midfielder Björn
Becker to the Ossers next season. Budziak was promoted to reserve keeper
at PSV no less than 12 times due to Ronald Waterreus' injury problems but
the 20 year-old never actually saw any 1st team action. In March he was
hired out to RKC, as a result of Rob van Dijk's injury, but also never got
further than a place on the bench.
|
| Arsenal
deny Van Bommel bid |
29 May 2002
|
| Arsenal
have denied that they have been talking to PSV's Mark van Bommel at the
weekend. The Eindhoven club's press officer Pedro Salazar confirmed that
there has been only the one enquiry by "The Gunners", about a
month ago, for both Van Bommel and defender Kevin Hofland but that there
has been no word since from the Premiership side. It looks like the story
which had been circulating that Van Bommel was seen in London last weekend
is untrue, as so often with these rumours!
|
| Hiddink,
Rijkaard or Jol for PSV job? |
28 May 2002
|
| PSV have
three candidates lined up to succeed Erik Gerets as trainer: RKC's
Martin Jol, Sparta's Frank Rijkaard and South Korea's coach Guus Hiddink.
Hiddink, who is currently top of the list, achieved four trophies with PSV
(including the European Cup I in 1988), is free to take over after the
World Cup and is favourite according to sources within the club. Former
Oranje coach Rijkaard saw his club Sparta relegated to the Eerste Divisie
last Sunday and has an escape clause in his contract which would allow him
to leave. RKC's Martin Jol has achieved much since taking over in Waalwijk
in 1998, saving the team from relegation in his first year and building an
impressive/effective side in the following season. The players themselves
have nominated assistant-trainer Erwin Koeman but he's lacking in
experience and is unlikely to be offered the job. Chairman Van Raaij will
be considering his options during the coming days.
|
| PSV
hire Colin to NAC |
26 May 2002
|
| PSV
have finally agreed to a loan-deal sending Jürgen Colin to NAC for next
season. The Breda club had been wanting to add the defender to the squad
for some time now but PSV were only prepared to consider a deal once
they'd done a little stocktaking of their own players.
It's the second time that Colin is being hired out after an earlier spell
during the latter half of the season at RC Genk where he only played 7
matches. NAC trainer Henk ten Cate has said he'll be sure to see more action
than that with his team. |
| Gerets
wants honourable PSV exit |
22 May 2002
|
| Eric
Gerets is reportedly devastated by his weekend sacking by PSV but is
determined to see out the last days of his contract (which runs out on
July 1st) in an honourable fashion. It would have been far easier for him
to have left the team on Monday and flown back to Holland but the Belgian
coach has decided to carry out all his duties to the bitter end. And a
bitter end it is too for the man who's guided the team to 2 consecutive
Ere Divisie titles. He had a verbal agreement with chairman Harry van
Raaij that his contract would be extended "for life" this
summer but that now has a hollow ring about it. To add to the irony,
Gerets has made it clear to captain Mark van Bommel (one of his main
"opponents" within the team and partly "responsible"
for his departure) that he wants nothing more to do with him! Yet the
Dutch international himself could soon be departing for Louis van Gaal's
Barcelona! Meanwhile, Gerets' name has already been linked with the
trainer's job at Belgian side Standard Luik, the club where he made a name
for himself as a player, and it's also possible that he may be offered the
job of looking after the Belgian national team "The Red Devils"
("Rode Duivels") when/if the current coach Robert Waseige leaves
after the World Cup.
|
| Olsen
tipped to takeover at PSV? |
22 May 2002
|
| According
to a story in Dutch daily newspaper the "Algemeen Dagblad",
Morten Olsen is one of the candidates tipped to succeed Eric Gerets as PSV
coach. "He fits the profile that the club have in mind, combining
years of experience with a talent for diplomacy", according to a
correspondent travelling with the team in China. Olsen previously looked
after Ajax for a season-and-a-half but, despite winning the double, was
fired in 1998. The 52 year-old Dane is currently Denmark's national coach
and preparing to guide the squad through the World Cup in Japan and South
Korea.
|
| PSV
sack Eric
Gerets!!! |
21 May 2002
|
| In
a shock announcement, although not 100%, PSV have announced they are
parting company with coach Eric Gerets! The Belgian trainer signed a (so-called for life!?!)
new contract only last
season but disappointing
results, failure in the domestic league/cup as well as in Europe, have
obviously precipitated his premature departure. There had been rumours and
rumblings for
some time in Eindhoven and it was becoming increasingly clear that Gerets' position at the club was in jeopardy.
Nevertheless, the news
is still very much a summer surprise and a personal blow for Gerets!
|
| Rommedahl
nostalgic for the Robson days |
21 May 2002
|
| PSV's
Dennis Rommedahl has been talking in an interview with Dutch daily newspaper
the "Brabants Dagblad" about his desire to play for Bobby Robson once again.
The Danish international worked with Robson when he was trainer at PSV ,
"He is a good coach and hopefully I will get the chance to work with
him again next season." Rommedahl also added "I always had
the impression that Robson's way of working was much more effective in getting
everything out of the players. At PSV, Gerets can sometimes seem very
distant from the players." The striker may get the chance if he's
snapped up by Robson's Newcastle United when, as is rumoured, he leaves
Eindhoven this summer.

14 May 2002
|
| PSV
have followed up their earlier 4-1 win against Thailand by beating the
Chinese national team 1-0 in Shanghai as part of the Eindhoven side's
Asian tour. Adil Ramzi scored the only goal of the match in the 14th
minute. 57,000 people turned out to watch the match in the Pudong stadion
and 250 million tuned in to watch it on Chinese television.
