Following the shock resignation of Hamburg trainer Martin Jol earlier this week, the Rothosen are looking for a new man to take them into next season, and Twente boss Steve McClaren has emerged as an early frontrunner.

The former England manager has rebuilt his somewhat damaged reputation in Holland with Twente, taking them to the runners-up spot in the Eredivisie in his first season.  

He has also steered the Reds into the KNVB Cup final, which they lost on penalties to Heerenveen.    

German candidates Mirko Slomka and Bruno Labbadia are also on the shortlist.
