Philips Sport Vereniging (English: Philips Sports Union), widely known either as PSV or PSV Eindhoven, is a sports club from Eindhoven, Netherlands. It is best known for its professional football section.

PSV is one of three European Cup winning football clubs in Netherlands, the other two being Ajax and Feyenoord. The club won the European Cup in 1988 (against Benfica) and the UEFA Cup in 1978 (against SC Bastia). They are often nicknamed Boeren (Dutch for 'farmers' or in this case peasants) in reference to their original provincial city origins.

History

As its name indicates, the club started out as a company-sponsored sports club for Philips employees on August 31 (then Koninginnedag), 1913 to celebrate the centennial defeat of the French in the Napoleonic wars. PSV have evolved into a fully professional football club. It was built at the same time as the inauguration of the club, although its current capacity was only achieved by various modernisation programmes throughout their history.

PSV garnered many honours in the football arena and have been credited as the club where many successful players such as Ruud Gullit, Mateja Kežman, Romário, Ronaldo, Luc Nilis, Philip Cocu, Park Ji-Sung, Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Lee Young-Pyo, Mark van Bommel, Carlos Salcido, Jefferson Farfán, Arjen Robben, Johann Vogel, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, DaMarcus Beasley, Alex Rodrigo Dias da Costa and Ronald Waterreus plied their trade and talents. Their success was built on the foundations laid down by other famous players like Willy van der Kuijlen, Jan van Beveren, Jan Poortvliet, the Van de Kerkhof brothers who also played for the Dutch national team and Huub Stevens in the 1970s where the club won the UEFA Cup in 1978, defeating Bastia 3-0 in the final.

Despite being able to scout South America and most of Europe for budding talents such as those players above, many of them have indirectly made PSV as a springboard for professional development such as Ronaldo and Eidur Gudjohnsen who spent two seasons at the club as well as Mateja Kežman and Arjen Robben, and most recently, Park Ji-Sung and Lee Young-Pyo.

Famous coaches such as Guus Hiddink (who between stints at PSV coached the Dutch national team to a fourth-place finish in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and South Korea to a similar fourth place in the 2002 FIFA World Cup) have managed the team over the years and have brought considerable successes to the club.

The Seventies

The mid and late 1970's were a golden era for PSV. They boasted quality players with the likes of Willy van der Kuijlen, the Van de Kerkhof brothers, Jan van Beveren, Jan Poortvliet, Harry Lubse and Huub Stevens and won two domestic cups and three domestic championships. PSV also won the UEFA Cup, their first major European title in 1978. PSV beat French opponents SC Bastia 3-0 in a spectacular game in the finals first leg. It was enough for the return to win the trophy [1].

Hiddink era, 1987-1990

In 1988, coached by Guus Hiddink and with a team featuring players such as Ronald Koeman, Eric Gerets, Søren Lerby and Wim Kieft, PSV won the European Cup for the first and so far only time in their history, beating Benfica on penalties after a goalless final. Hans van Breukelen stopped the crucial penalty. Curiously, PSV took the trophy despite not winning any of its final five fixtures in the competition: they eliminated both Bordeaux and Real Madrid on away goals, with all four matches ending in draws. Following the European Cup win, PSV faced off with Libertadores winners, Club Nacional de Football of Montevideo. After a 2-2 draw, Nacional went on to defeat PSV Eindhoven in penalties to win their 3rd World Club title. Guus Hiddink still calls that game one of the hardest defeats of his career.[citation needed] Hiddink is the coach of a successfull team that wins many important prizes. The club has won three Eredivisie titles, three KNVB cups and the European Cup under his supervision.

1990-1998

After Hiddink left, English coach Bobby Robson, who managed the England national team, was signed as head coach. PSV won the Dutch league in both the 1990–91 and 1991–92 seasons. However, the team did not make the progress expected by the board in European competitions and Robson was informed that he would be leaving the club at the end of the 1991–92 season[2]. Robson had problems with handling one of the keyplayers, Brazilian international Romário. Romário, one of the keyplayers, scouted by Piet de Visser, joined the team in the Hiddink era, and stayed until 1993, winning three titles for the club. After Robson left Hans Westerhof took over, finishing second in the competition. He was replaced by Aad de Mos but he finished third, despite having players like Gheorghe Popescu, Nii Lamptey and Arthur Numan. Hans van Breukelen retired after this season, having defended the goal for ten seasons, and named one of the best goalkeepers the club ever had. Ronald Waterreus and Stanley Menzo were signed to compete for a place in the goal in the 1994-1995 season. The younger Waterreus got his place under the bar for ten years. In his second season, Aad de Mos was fired in October 1994, and temporary replaced by Kees Rijvers, untill Dick Advocaat in December 1994, signed as headcoach. With new strikers as Ronaldo, who scored 30 goals, and Luc Nilis, the team again finished third, far behind champions Ajax and Roda JC. In Dick Advocaat's second season, the performance was better, finishing second in the competition and reaching the quarter-finals of the European Cup against FC Barcelona. Finally after five years, the 1996-1997 season proved to be succesfull, and PSV crowned themselves champions with players like Jaap Stam, Philip Cocu, Wim Jonk, Luc Nilis, Arthur Numan and talent Boudewijn Zenden. The 1997-1998 season was known for the succes of Ajax and PSV finished second, far behind the champions. The Belgian strikerduo Luc Nilis and Gilles De Bilde scored most goals in the competition. Even in the cupfinal, Ajax proved to be to strong for the Boeren. The Champions League campaign ended in the groupround, finishing second behind Dynamo Kyiv, despite having played good matched against FC Barcelona and Newcastle United.

1998-2002

In the late Nineties, the club had a team full of excellent players like Jaap Stam, Arthur Numan, Philip Cocu, Boudewijn Zenden and Luc Nilis. After the 1998 FIFA World Cup, which was success for Dutch national team, finishing fourth with excellent football, the club was a victim of that success. Keyplayers were transferred and the 1998-1999 season started painfull for PSV with a complete new team. However, with striker Luc Nilis and new-signed Ruud van Nistelrooy, the club finished third on the last day in a difficult 2-3 win over FC Utrecht. They qualified for the Champions League and coach Bobby Robson left the club for Belgium coach Eric Gerets. In his first season, new players were talent Mark van Bommel, Swiss international Johann Vogel and a player of his former club Club Brugge Eric Addo. Veteran Jan Heintze also returned to the club were he won the European Cup. The two fowards Luc Nilis and Ruud van Nistelrooy proved to be very succesfull, (and scored together 48 goals in the competition) next to Arnold Bruggink, as well als the combination of the midfielders Vogel and Van Bommel. It means the fifteenth title for PSV. Deception for the club Van Nistelrooy as an heavy injury marks his season, and his huge transfer to Manchester United is cancelled. Eric Gerets also wins the 2000-2001 title, with new striker Mateja Kežman who replaced Luc Nilis and the injured Van Nistelrooy. Newcomers Kevin Hofland and John de Jong also show their talents. In the Champions League Anderlecht and Manchester United proved to be too strong, although a beautiful goal against Manchester United by Mateja Kežman is often remembered by the fans. In the UEFA Cup quarter-final against 1. FC Kaiserslautern is a black day in history when angry fans entered the field and coach Gerets with some players tried to prevent them. PSV didn't made it to the semi-finals and a fine and an European match on neutral ground was the result of the supporters action. PSV won the title again and striker Van Nistelrooy, recovered from a knee-injury, was sold eventually to Manchester United. As a result, PSV signed FC Twente striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink who had to compete with Kežman. Although the team still had some excellent players, a difficult start in the competition eventually saw them finishing second behind archrivals Ajax. In the Champions League PSV loses from FC Nantes on September 11, 2001 with 4-1, a match they didn't want to play because of the attack on the World Trade Center. PSV againt doesn't make it to the second round and had to play UEFA Cup instead. In the fourth round Leeds United is beaten in the second round by a late goal of Vennegoor of Hesselink. In the quarter-finals, for the first time in history, two Dutch teams]] played against eachother. PSV counters Feyenoord and after two matches ending in 1-1, penalties had to decide the faith. Feyenoord shot best and eventually won the UEFA Cup later that year. The team had lost faith in their coach and Gerets was released by the club.

Hiddink era, 2002-2006

Soon after the successfull 2002 FIFA World Cup for the Korea Republic, Guus Hiddink signed as the new coach. Arjen Robben was one of the talented new players at the club, which resulted in a new title. Unfortunately, results in the Champions League stayed out, as PSV finished last in the groupround. In the same season, the influences of Hiddink as coach of Korea are shown, as Park Ji-Sung and Lee Young-Pyo join the team. In the 2003-2004 season, PSV failed to reclaim the title. In the Champions League the team finished third, despite having the same amount of points as Deportivo de La Coruña, but the Spanish side having an better result. In the UEFA Cup PSV is beaten in the quarter-final by Newcastle United. Goalkeeper Ronald Waterreus, who defended the clubgoal for ten seasons, decided to leave the club.

In the 2004/2005 season, PSV was at the top of his game with influential players such as Mark van Bommel, Johann Vogel and Philip Cocu on midfield, and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Park Ji-Sung as fowards. For the first time in history, PSV reached the knockout stage of the Champions League, despite losing a couple of key players like Arjen Robben, Dennis Rommedahl and Mateja Kežman in the summer of 2004. Guus Hiddink created a new team with brilliant new players like defender Alex, goalkeeper Gomes and forwards Jefferson Farfan and DaMarcus Beasley. PSV finished second after Arsenal the group stage and beat Champions League 2003/2004 finalists AS Monaco with 1-0 and 0-2. After reaching the quarter finals, another team from France came on their route: Olympique Lyon. After two matches ended in 1-1 and no goals in the extra time, penalties were needed to decide the semi-finalists. PSV won after penalties after Brazilian striker Robert scored the final one. PSV went to Milan but lost against AC Milan with 2-0. A small chance for the Dutch team in the return, but PSV started very well with an early goal from Park Ji-Sung. A goal in the second half from Philip Cocu showed the quality of Hiddinks team. However, AC Milan midfielder Massimo Ambrosini left Eindhoven in tears, scoring a goal in extra time of the second half. Despite a goal from Philip Cocu a minute later, AC Milan went to the final on away goals. This is probably one of the strongest matches PSV has ever played and most fans remember the tears of Brazilian defender Alex, also known als The Tank. The season was the most successful season in the recent years, winning the 18th Eredivisie title as well as their eight KNVB Beker (Dutch Cup).

Regardless, after the departures of influential players such as Mark van Bommel, Johann Vogel, Park Ji-Sung, Lee Young-Pyo and Wilfred Bouma after the 2004/2005 season, PSV have moved to secure the services of players like Mika Väyrynen and Belgium midfielder Timmy Simons. With the addition of young players to bolster the squad such as Ismaïl Aissati and Ibrahim Afellay, PSV reached the knockout stage of the Champions League 2005/2006 for a second running, having reached the semi-final stage in the Champions League season before. PSV ended again second in the group behind AC Milan. The team defeated the Italians in the homematch with 1-0 in a tough group with Schalke 04 and Fenerbahçe. In the first knock-outround Olympique Lyon proved to be to strong in two matches. PSV again won the title, but lost the cupfinal agaist archrivals Ajax, the last match of Hiddink as coach of the team.

Recent years

For 2006-2007 season, PSV contracted manager Ronald Koeman to succeed Hiddink. They also signed Ecuadorian player Edison Méndez and Mexican player Carlos Salcido after the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where they assisted their teams to the second round. Jan Wouters and Tonny Bruins Slot were brought in as the two new assistant-managers. André Ooijer and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink left the club after the start of the competition, and as replacements, Jan Kromkamp came from Liverpool and former Ajax striker Patrick Kluivert, signed for a year. The transfer of Kluivert was disliked by many fans, because of his Ajax past, but it didn't cause any problems. His debut against Feyenoord was received by applauding. Eventually he was released in July 2007, because the staff was not convinced after a season had a couple of injuries. The top goal scorers of the season were Jefferson Farfán and Arouna Koné. The season saw the club building a gap with the other teams. The lead quickly dissipated in the 13 matches that followed. A draw of PSV at FC Utrecht in the penultimate round saw AZ and Ajax catching up. The three clubs were all on 72 points from 33 matches, with the AZ on top due to goal difference. Ajax were second, PSV were third. They won the Eredivise for 2006-2007 on April 29, with a 5-1, final day home victory against Vitesse Arnhem. AZ suffered a shocking 2-3 defeat away at Excelsior, while Ajax and PSV both won. Therefore, the title was decided only by goal difference, with PSV's bigger winning margin proving decisive as they bettered Ajax's goal difference by just 1 goal (+50 compared with +49). This is known as the most exciting and closest title races in many years. In the Champions League PSV qualified for the knockout stage for the third time in a row, second behind Liverpool, leaving Bordeaux and Galatasaray behind. In the first knockout phase, PSV defeated Arsenal at home with 1-0 by a goal from Edison Méndez. In the return, PSV struggled and keyplayer Alex scored an own goals. However, he scored the unexpected 1-1, which was enough for the Dutch to reach the quarter-finals. Liverpool again was the opponent, but PSV had no chance, having a lot of injuries and lost 0-4 on aggregate. Although the club won the title, chairman Schuitema voiced criticism on coach Ronald Koeman after almost losing the championship, despite having a huge gap of points in December. It was decided that Koeman would stay on for another year. New chairman Jan Reker replaced Schuitema.

After the season in which PSV won their 20th title, keyplayers Philip Cocu and Alex left the club. A difficult job for coach Koeman to fill their positions. They signed Mike Zonneveld, Kenneth Perez and Danko Lazovic. Danny Koevermans came from AZ Alkmaar after Arouna Koné eventually was sold to Sevilla FC. Also Ismaïl Aissati and Otman Bakkal came back from FC Twente after played for that club on loan. With a new young team, Ronald Koeman would have a rare challenge in the new year. The team was disqualified from the Dutch Cup tournament, after fielding Manuel da Costa who was still suspended as a result of last year's tournament. PSV general manager called it "a huge blunder."[3] On October 31, 2007 Ronald Koeman agreed to be the new coach of Valencia CF, despite having a contract at PSV. The search for a new coach showed to be a struggle for the club and assistant-coach Jan Wouters agreed to temporarily take over the job of head coach. Sef Vergoossen was contracted to be head coach until the end of the season, when Huub Stevens will take over [4]. On December 31, 2007, fans were stunned to hear that Kenneth Perez left the club for Ajax, where he was bought from, in the summer of the same year. Chairman Reker declared that it was Perez own choice to leave the club. [5]

Stadium

The Philips Stadion is the PSV home base. Since the founding of the club, PSV's home base is still at exactly the same place where the PSV sports grounds were established in 1913.

Philips Stadion with a capacity of 35,000

It was first inaugurated on 31 August 1913 [6]. The neighbourhood where the stadium is located is the Philipsdorp ('Philips village'), close to the centre of Eindhoven. The current capacity is achieved by various modernisation programmes throughout their history.

The stadium can accommodate 35,000 people on match days. Plans to further expand the ground to 40,000 seats have been put on hold. The average attendance for the season 2005/06 was 33,165. All seats are covered and heated. In the summer of 2005, the board of the club decided to remove the tall fences around the pitch, replacing them with 35 inches (90 cm) high railings keeping the spectators off the grass. Unauthorized persons who do invade the pitch will receive a 15,000 euro penalty and a ten-year-ban from visiting the Philips Stadion.

It was, however, the stadium where many European Cup matches were played, and was one of the Dutch venues for the Euro 2000 competition held jointly by Netherlands and Belgium. In 2006 the UEFA Cup Final between Sevilla FC and Middlesbrough F.C. was held in this stadium. The Netherlands decided to bid on the 2018 FIFA World Cup with Belgium, the Philips Stadion will probably be an option for a venue.

Notable players

Managers

Other sports

Currently, there are 17 clubs called PSV. These clubs were members of the Federatie van Philips Sport Verenigingen (Federation of Philips Sports Unions) until it was disbanded in 2004. The more than 5000 members (2003) of the 17 clubs participate in 20 different sports.

The recent successes of the swim club -- Pieter van den Hoogenband and Inge de Bruijn shared 8 medals (of which 5 gold) between them during the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney -- has made it the second best known after the football club, but many of the other member clubs are also high-ranked in their respective national competitions.

Trivia

The Dutch comedian Theo Maassen once stole the UEFA Cup (won in 1978 against Bastia) from the Philips Stadion. For several years it was unknown who had been responsible for the disappearance of the trophy. The true story was confessed by Maassen himself, live on a talkshow focused on football[citation needed]. That night the show had several guests that were in the possession of rare soccer artifacts. When the host asked Maassen about his artifact, he took the UEFA Cup out of his bag and put it on the table, in front of the baffled host and guests.

He had also stolen the prize that PSV had won at the International Cup after losing at penalties against Nacional. Maassen did this with his friend Hans Teeuwen. He gave the artifact back during a television program on the day PSV became champion on 29 April 2007.

Because of their close ties with electronics conglomerate Philips PSV have had the same jersey sponsor (Philips) without any exception ever since 1982, the year jersey sponsorships were introduced in the Eredivisie. This is a record in Dutch football, and presumably in international football as well.
