PSV coach Ronald Koeman up for grabs
Dutch bidding site Marktplaats.nl just removed an advert selling Ronald Koeman, the coach of Dutch football team PSV. A fan put him up for sale or trade against a better trainer. People who responded quickly could get assistant trainers Jan Wouters and Tonny Bruins Slot thrown in for free. Two years ago, Ruud Gullit, former trainer of the Dutch football team Feyenoord, was placed on sale on eBay because of his poor performance.

The poor performance of Koeman being that he “only” managed to reach the Champions League’s quarter finals and hasn’t secured the title yet. How horrible indeed for a coach who wasn’t even third choice when he was hired last year to replace Saint Guus. Some of my brethern PSV fans are over-reacting a little, methinks. (Of course, the Marktplaats a(u)ction might easily have been a lame joke from a competitor’s “fan”.)
