McCLaren secures Dutch title with Fc Twente.

Two years on from Steve McClarens failure to guide England to a European championships, he has restored some credibility with a magnificent success in the Dutch Eridivisie. He has only been manager of Fc Twente for two seasons but has already made himself a hero by securing a league title with a 2-0 victory over NAC Breda. A break from English football has proved to be exactly what McClaren needed as critics bombarded him as the worst England manager to record. Out of the media spotlight, McClaren has masterminded Fc Twente's success and has loved every moment of his time in the Netherlands. Formally labelled as "the wally in the brolly", Mclaren has reinvigorated his managerial career and will look to put that cold wet night at wembley firmly behind him. Speaking after the game McClaren said it was "a fantastic achievement." He was clearly in buoyant mood after his success as he spoke to the English media in his infamous Dutch accent. Despite not mastering the Dutch accent, he has clearly mastered Dutch football and speculation has already begun that he may soon return to English football at the helm of West Ham or another club. He went onto saying "to win this championship is more than a miracle", and it was he and his players who perfected such a miracle. Beginning the season as underdogs to Ajax and Psv Eindhoven, McClaren wasn't sure if he had a team capable, but they rose to the occasion to secure the title for the first time since they were founded in 1965. English managers who have managed abroad have always returned with a sixth sense for the game, an added intellect of the game. Examples such as Roy Hodgson are evidence for this who is working wonders for Fulham. Much criticism has been laid onto the English managers and accusing them of being incapable of managing the national team, perhaps if they were to go abroad like Hodgson did with Norway and McClaren with Fc Twente, then they may develop their managerial abillity.
