Martin Jol in talks to replace Ronald Koeman at PSV
Gary Jacob
Martin Jol may not have been able to bring Champions League football to White Hart Lane during his three years at Tottenham Hotspur, but he may get the chance to pit his wits against Europe’s finest if he takes over as head coach of PSV Eindhoven.
The Dutchman, who was dismissed by Tottenham last week and handed a £4.7 million compensation package, held talks with the Dutch champions last night about succeeding Ronald Koeman, who left to take over at Valencia, of Spain, yesterday.
Meanwhile, Daniel Levy charged nearly £1 million in fees to the club for his work as chairman in the year up to the end of June. The irony of an increase from £775,000 to £950,000 will not be lost on supporters after the club’s handling of Jol’s departure.
The money was paid to Enic, the sports company that is the club’s largest shareholder and of which Levy is managing director. In the space of three years, the fee and pension package has increased from £250,000. The rise could be of interest to the shareholders who will attend the club’s extraordinary meeting on November 26. The club have previously defended the fees, arguing that they are in stronger shape now than when Enic took over in 2001.
Tottenham announced record figures for turnover and profit a fortnight ago, but the accounts reveal that was partly because of revenue from cup-ties. The rise in turnover of about £30 million came from reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and Uefa Cup and the semi-finals of the Carling Cup last season. Enic, which has an 82 per cent stake in Tottenham, is understood to be looking to sell the club, which is valued at about £270 million.
