EINDHOVEN - PSV Eindhoven have revealed they expect to have more information about a new head coach next week following speculation that Martin Jol has turned down the position.
Jan Wouters has been in temporary charge following the departure of Ronald Koeman to Valencia and Jol is believed to have held discussions with the Philips Stadion club.
But PSV spokesman Pedro Salazar-Hewitt refused to comment on whether the former Tottenham boss had held talks, or whether he was still in the running for the position.
"We will not be making a comment on who will be the new head coach of PSV at this time," Hewitt told PA Sport.
"At this stage, there is nothing further to say other than that we are hoping that we will be available to release more information about the position next week."
FC Twente coach Fred Rutten is also a leading candidate for the vacancy, having previously spent a period with PSV as youth coach and then as assistant manager to Guus Hiddink.
He was appointed as coach of FC Twente in the summer of 2006 on a three-year contract.
Twente chairman Joop Munsterman confirmed that PSV have been in touch with Rutten's agent Kees Ploegsma about signing the coach, but he remains determined to keep Rutten in Enschede and denied any clause in his contract allowing him to leave.
"Fred has a contract with us and we keep our side of the contract and I assume that he will do the same," Munsterman said.
"I certainly hope that this is the case and there is no clause.
"I know nothing of a clause in his contract which allows him to move to PSV at any time as a free agent.
"We did not sign him then for nothing - the intention is to let him work here for many years and certainly not to let him go after only one and a half years here.
"We are attached to Fred and I really do not want to contemplate the idea of him leaving us."
