McClaren to coach FC Twente

June 21st 2008 14:28

FC Twente, the Dutch club that beat Ajax in a playoff to grab a Champions League spot last season, have got themselves a new manager: former England and Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren. McClaren signed a two-year contract with the club from Enschede that will see him lead them into their first (and, with luck, second) ever season of competition in the UEFA Champions League.


McClaren will have his work cut out for him in Europe's top flight and in FC Twente's other competitions, as the club has not won a major domestic cup or league trophy since 2001 and their Intertoto Cup win in 2006 was the only international achievement in the club's history. However, with this historic foray into the 2008/09 Champions League tournament, Twente fans will be hoping that their club, and its new skipper, will be able to recreate the form of the 1970s, a period when FC Twente were genuine contenders in the Netherlands and abroad. They'll get their first crack at a return to glory under McClaren in their Champions League Third Qualifying Round match on 12 August.
