Official: Twente appoint Steve McClaren as new head coach
The Englishman has reached an agreement with the Tukkers over a contract until 2014, and returns to the club where he won the Eredivisie title two years ago
By Stefan Coerts
The 2010 Eredivisie champions were in the market for a new trainer following the departure of Co Adriaanse earlier this week and they have now found their man in the 50-year-old McClaren.
McClaren previously worked at the Grolsch Veste from 2008 until 2010 and helped the Tukkers claim their first ever Eredivisie title.
He left Twente for Wolfsburg in the summer of 2010, but got the sack halfway through the season. He then joined Nottingham Forest at the start of the 2011-12 campaign, only to resign in October following a string of disappointing results.
Twente currently sit third in the Eredivisie table with 33 points from 17 games.

"[Gary] Cahill I suppose is slightly more of a concern for me because it is a jaw injury. We're desperately hoping the CT scan doesn't show any fracture and it's just going to be a bruising situation, which will be bad enough, but won't stop him taking part in the tournament. As far as John's [Terry] concerned he felt his hamstring a little bit. Again it wasn't a major thing when he came off but we still need to scan it just to be 100 per cent sure."
Suffice to say, if Cahill has broken his jaw, he won't play any part in the tournament.
