On 17 April 2009, Rutten signed a contract as the new manager of PSV Eindhoven, for the season 2009–10. After the start in the 2009–10 competition Rutten did not lose 39 games in a row. On 12 March 2012 Rutten was sacked as PSV manager after a disappointing spell of the club where they lost to Twente (2-6) and NAC (3-1) in the Eredivisie and to Valencia (4-2) in the Europa League. After this deception Rutten was asked for in Arnhem, because Vitesse had just lost John van den Brom, who went to RSC Anderlecht. He now surprisingly successfully manages Vitesse.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
