Twente considering McClaren

Steve McClaren could be ready to make his return back to football, in charge of Dutch Eredivisie side Twente II. Twente's current coach, Fred Rutten, is said to be heading to Germany to take charge of Schalke 04 in the summer.

McClaren's agent confirmed that the former England coach had a number of options, and that the Dutch side were one of them.

"Steve is a top manager so he will be linked with any jobs which are vacant," said Gordon.

"He was just over in Holland watching some football and obviously there is a lot of speculation flying about at the moment.

"I'm sure he'll be linked with the Getafe job as well now with their manager [Michael Laudrup] is set to leave and there are a couple of jobs in Denmark so no doubt his name will be linked with them as well.

On Twente's interest in McClaren, his agent quipped: "It's an option - they are a club in the Champions League and he has experience of managing at the top level."
