Peter Bosz has suggested that his current spell at PSV could be the final chapter of his managerial career, admitting that he is already looking forward to travelling and spending more time with his family once his contract expires in 2028.

The PSV head coach discussed his future in the Sportnieuws.nl Gameplan video podcast, reflecting on his decision to extend his contract earlier this year and the demands of life in football.

Bosz confirmed his extension on February 1, following PSV's 3-0 victory over Feyenoord. The result put the Eindhoven club 17 points clear at the top of the Eredivisie, with a third consecutive league title looking increasingly likely.

There had been speculation in the weeks before the announcement that Bosz could be considered for the Netherlands national team job. However, the KNVB never approached him about replacing Ronald Koeman.

Despite the possibility of moving on, Bosz consciously decided to extend his stay in Eindhoven.

“Of course, I could have said: it doesn’t get any better, so I’m leaving. But I did consciously choose to extend,” he explained.

The regular pressure of managing a club also played a part in his decision. Bosz admitted that the weekly demands of football can become exhausting, but he also recognises how much he would miss them if he stepped away.

“I'm afraid of missing that. You feel every match: we have to win. At some point, that feeling gets old,” he said.

He recalled PSV's difficult position two seasons ago, when the club found itself nine points behind Ajax, describing that period as “the most dreadful job there was”.

However, his experiences of being dismissed have given him another perspective on the pressures of management.

“But I've also been fired a few times… Then after a few months, you'll actually miss that pressure again,” Bosz added, as quoted by PSV Inside.

Bosz also spoke candidly about the demanding schedule that comes with managing PSV. His working days regularly begin at 7am and can continue until late in the evening, particularly when Jong PSV are playing.

“Now I am still at an age where I can do fun things. Only, I just don't get around to it,” he said.

“We start every day at 07.00 and are at the club until 17.00. And when Jong PSV plays, I'm even there until 23.00. Those are very long days, but I think there's no other way. That's how I experience it.”

The coach returned to the Netherlands in 2023 after spells abroad with clubs including Bayer Leverkusen and Olympique Lyonnais. He explained that the lifestyle associated with working overseas was one of the reasons behind his decision to return.

“Those long days were an important reason to come back, so that I have more time for my friends and family,” Bosz said.

“In Germany and France, we were always in a hotel, so then you spent at least four days a week in a hotel… I didn’t have a relationship for that.”

With his PSV contract running until 2028, Bosz believes there is a strong possibility that the club will be his final managerial destination.

“My gut tells me that 2028 will be the end of it,” he said.

The 62-year-old has already identified what he would like to do once his coaching career comes to a close. Travelling with his wife, Jolyn, is high on the list.

“I would like to travel with my wife. I’ve travelled a lot with football, but of course you see very little. You fly to a country and you only see a hotel and the stadium. So I hope to be able to travel a lot. I can truly enjoy that,” Bosz explained.

For now, his focus remains on PSV. But his comments offer a clear indication that, when his current contract ends, he may be ready to leave the demands of professional football behind.
