City considering Koeman move

中場指揮官

Manchester City are considering an approach for PSV Eindhoven coach Ronald Koeman, according to reports.

Stuart Pearce was dismissed on Monday after a disappointing season at Eastlands, and City chairman John Wardle has apparently already held talks with potential investor Thaksin Shinawatra about a successor.

Shinawatra is believed to favour a foreign coach if he does complete a takeover, and former Ajax and Benfica coach Koeman has emerged as a leading candidate for the job.

Koeman, whose PSV side won the Eredivisie on the last day of the season, recently agreed to stay at the club for at least another season.

However, criticism from chairman Frits Schuitema had previously led to unrest, and the former Holland international has also become frustrated by the limited resources available to Dutch sides.

And with City now actively looking for a manager, Koeman could be given a route into the Premiership.

"I am a person who likes to go outside of Holland," he told the Daily Mail. "It is good for your experience.

"I like the way they play in England, how the people react. I think it is a pleasure to work there.

"The possibilities for most English clubs are much bigger because of their money. So, maybe."
