Feyenoord coach could be a has-Been

Been was already under pressure heading into Sunday's game at the Philips Stadion after a slow start to the new Eredivisie campaign, and his side's spectacular capitulation against the league leaders has turned up the heat still further on the beleaguered coach. The 46-year-old revealed earlier this week that he hoped to seal an extension to his current contract at De Kuip, but he admitted Sunday's events mark a "black page in the history of Feyenoord" that has forced him to re-evaluate his position. Been reportedly told his players after the match that he would stand down if they no longer had any faith in his leadership, only to be met by a wall of silence. It is unclear whether the players' reaction has been taken as a vote of no-confidence, but Been admitted he would not be making any snap decisions on his future until on Sunday at the earliest. "If there is no confidence in the players, I think the matter is clear," Been told reporters. "If there is no trust in the management the case seems clear. "When I spoke to the players, they remained silent. Maybe we should sleep on it first. But that further discussions will follow is clear." Addressing the media at a joint press conference alongside PSV coach Fred Rutten, a visibly drained Been added: "Here is a coach who is very ashamed. "It is scandalous how we defended. We just lost 10-0. This pain is enormous, not only as a club coach but also as a supporter. "This is a huge black page in the history of Feyenoord and that gives me tremendous pain." A hat-trick from Jonathan Reis was the cornerstone of PSV's crushing victory, which also saw Jeremain Lens and Balazs Dzsudzsak grab a brace each in addition to further strikes by Ibrahim Afellay, Ola Toivonen and Orlando Engelaar. The bruising loss was the worst in Feyenoord's history, eclipsing the 8-2 reverse against Ajax in September 1983, and leaves the Rotterdammers in the relegation zone. The 10-0 scoreline equals PSV's record winning result set on three previous occasions, most recently against FC Volendam in April 1998, and moves Rutten's men two points clear at the Eredivisie summit. Feyenoord's task was not helped by the 34th-minute dismissal of full-back Kelvin Leerdam, but the visitors' numerical disadvantage could not explain away a shocking second-half capitulation. "After the break we played against 10 men with a lot of discipline and high tempo," said a delighted Rutten. "It is a compliment to the team. I am extremely proud of this performance."
