Managerial career

Soon after beginning his career as head of youth development at PSV, where he helped bring and develop players and managers such as Nick Theslof, in 1993, Stevens became the manager of Roda JC. From October 1996 to June 2002, he managed German Bundesliga side Schalke 04, with whom he won the UEFA Cup in 1997 and the DFB-Pokal in 2001 and 2002. In 1999, Schalke fans picked Stevens as manager of the century. Afterwards, Stevens was appointed manager of Hertha BSC, but he was sacked on 4 December 2003. He was then hired by 1. FC Köln, which he managed from 14 June 2004 to 27 May 2005, when he signed a two-year contract with Roda JC. Under Stevens, Köln became champions of the 2. Bundesliga and were promoted to the Bundesliga. Stevens was at Roda until he returned to the German Bundesliga, becoming the new manager of Hamburger SV on 2 February 2007. By the time Stevens took over, the club was in the relegation zone. Results improved quite dramatically and led to Hamburg avoiding relegation and even finishing seventh in the league, thereby qualifying for the 2007 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Stevens took over the managing vacancy at PSV after his Hamburg contract expired at the end of the 2007–08 season. It was reported he signed a two-year contract with the Eindhoven club, a club he holds very dearly to his heart. However, on 28 January 2009, he resigned as manager, after which he signed a contract with Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga on 22 April 2009.
