Image PSV has announced that Bas Sibum will serve as assistant coach to coach Peter Bosz for two years starting this season. PSV welcomed the 43-year-old Sivum to begin preparations for the new season. There, three young players were officially promoted to the A team. \n\nOn Monday, PSV held their first pre-season training, and the day consisted mainly of medical examinations and tests for the players. Among them were three young players who will be joining the A team this season: 19-year-old Joël Van Den Berg, 17-year-old Fabian Merién and 21-year-old Tijn Smolenaars. \n\nVan Den Berg is a talented midfielder who already played a few games last season and is expected to play more this season. Merién is a defender who has been training with the A team since he was 15 years old and was officially promoted this season. Smolenaars is expected to fill the number three goalkeeper position vacated by the transfer. \n\nSivum's appointment as assistant coach was previously reported by Dutch media VI, and is a sign of Bosz's confidence. Sibum was Heracles Almelo's manager last season but has not been with the club since resigning. PSV had previously agreed that Sivum would serve as Bosz's assistant, but this did not happen for other reasons.
