Jol and Mido

Mohamed Zidan's HSV decided to hire the Dutch manager Martin Jol as their new coach. The former Tottenham Hotspur manager will replace Huub Stevens who is heading to his homeland at end of season to work as PSV manager.

Jol is very familiar amongst Egyptians as he was the one who brought Mido on loan from Roma to help Spurs end 5th in the table a couple of seasons ago. He was also the one who brought Hossam Ghaly from Feyenoord and the Egyptian helped the side to maintain their 5th spot in the premiership last season.

However, Martin Jol let Mido rust ion the bench for quite some time last season after the signing of Dimitar Berbatov. He also took Ghaly off minutes after he brought him on in the match versus Blackburn last season. An action that resulted in Ghaly throwing the team shirt.

Jol is a proven coach and will hopefully give Zidan more playing time that Stevens who applies more defensive tactics and prefers to play with a lone striker.


"We are sure that we have appointed the right coach for HSV", said the HSV boss Bernd Hoffmann.

Sport director Dietmar Beiersdorfer agrees: "We are looking forward to working with Martin Jol." Jol will be presented to the press in Hamburg next week.
