Current third place Hamburger SV have to look for a new coach for the next season since their current trainer Huub Stevens will go back to Holland because of health problems of his wife. A step he took before when he was coaching 2nd division 1.FC Cologne, he left there after leading the club back to the first division. Now I was surfing along some German sports sites and one suggested that former Dutch and AC Milan striker Marco Van Basten might be in for the job. Now that's a huge surprise since a name like Van Basten is always connected to the big clubs in Europe and that's a category HSV definetely doesn't fit into. On the other hand this might make sense. Hamburg has a lot of Dutch players on their team and if the really manage to sign Van Basten they might even be able to hold on to their star player Rafael Van der Vaart who at the moment looks like he is leaving the club at the end of this season.Van Basten announced that he will step down as the "Bondscoach" after the Euro 2008 this summer and was previously connected to Bayern Munich who were looking for a new coach. With Jürgen klinsmann filling that spot he is free for other options. The HSV offer might be an interesting one.
