McClaren Lined Up for Return in Netherlands
Steve McClaren is considering an offer to return to management in the Netherlands with FC Twente, who yesterday secured the country's second Champions League spot by beating Ajax in a play-off.
McClaren, who has been out of work since he was sacked by the Football Association in November after failing to guide England to Euro 2008, was in Amsterdam yesterday to see Twente draw 0-0 at Ajax and secure a 2-1 aggregate win. The club, based in Enschede, go into the third qualifying round of the Champions League.
Twente's coach, Fred Rutten, is leaving to take charge of Schalke in Germany and Twente would like McClaren to inform them over the next few days whether he will take up the reins. The former Middlesbrough manager has said he would consider working abroad.
