The
Coach
As a club coach, GUUS HIDDINK
won the Dutch championship three times with PSV Eindhoven and saw them
lift the European Cup in 1988, but subsequent spells at Fenerbache and
Valencia ended in his sacking. He replaced Dick Advocaat, now at
PSV, as a coach of the national side in 1995. Hiddink believes in
vesting responsibility with his players and is ready seen screaming from
the touchline. His policy instead is one of calm persuaian.
However, he has been accused of poor communication and fovouritism.
His "war" with Edgar Davids led to the midfielder's expulsionfrom the Dutch
Euro 96 squad.
