Ex-Sporting midfielder dreams of managing PSV: everyone knows | OneFootball

Stijn Schaars, a former Sporting player, admitted that his goal is to one day take charge of PSV’s first team. The Dutchman did not hide his ambition after joining the coaching staff in the 3-0 win over Eindhoven in a pre-season friendly.

Currently in charge of PSV ‘B’, the now-coach continues to develop his path as a manager and is in the final stages of completing his coaching course.

Asked about the future, the former midfielder was direct about his aspirations: "Everyone knows I have that ambition". Schaars ended his playing career in 2019 with Heerenveen, after a career spent almost entirely in his home country.

Throughout his career, the former Dutch international also earned 24 caps for the Netherlands senior team. He is now looking to build a new career on the bench, while keeping his goal of reaching the dugout of the current three-time Eredivisie champions.

Stijn Schaars - who compared the Lions to Feyenoord - joined Sporting in 2011 from AZ Alkmaar, costing the green-and-white club around €1.35 million. In 2013, the player moved to PSV for €850,000.
