Jol tipped for Hamburg role

Former Tottenham manager Martin Jol is expected to be named as Hamburg's new boss next week.

RKC Waalwijk coach Zeljko Petrovic has hinted that he will work as the Dutchman's assistant at the Bundesliga outfit.

Petrovic told AD Sportwereld: "Just like Martin, I will sign a contract for two years there.

"I wouldn't want to work as an assistant under many coaches. I am now 42 years old and two years from now I will be 44. After that I have enough time to be head coach again somewhere.

"And I can of course learn a lot at a club like HSV. I see this as an enormous step forwards."
