Former Lyon manager Peter Bosz has been appointed coach of Dutch
top-flight runners up PSV Eindhoven, after Ruud van Nistelrooy quit last month.
Dutchman Bosz, 59, who has also managed Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia
Dortmund and Ajax, was sacked by Lyon last October after a poor run of form.
"From the first moment I got a warm feeling. Both PSV and I
are hungry to perform," Bosz said in a statement issued by the club based
in the southern Dutch city.
"Last season two prizes were won, but our goal is to become
national champion. That's what we're going for."
PSV football director said Bosz was the "ideal
candidate".
PSV finished second in the Eredivisie last season behind
Rotterdam's Feyenoord, ahead of once-mighty Ajax, and also won this year's KNVB
cup.
But former Netherlands and Manchester United striker van
Nistelrooy quit in May citing a "lack of support within the club".
Bosz has also formerly managed Dutch sides Vitesse and Heracles
Almelo, and with Ajax he reached the final of the UEFA Europa League.
