McClaren: I can learn from Dutch
24.06.08
Former England manager Steve McClaren started life as FC Twente's new boss today, insisting the move would improve him as a coach.
McClaren, who was sacked in November after England failed to qualify for Euro 2008, has signed a two-year contract with the Dutch club.
"I've always wanted to work abroad," he said. "From my time with Manchester United in Europe and with Middlesbrough in Europe and from in international football with England, I have always sampled European football. It has always excited me.
"It's always something I think you can develop as a coach. Staying in one country can narrow your mind and narrow your focus - I wanted to open mine. I believe in football, I believe in technique, I believe in possession. That's how the Dutch play football."
