As its name indicates, the club started out as a works team for employees of electronics conglomerate Philips on August 31 (then Koninginnedag), 1913 to celebrate the centennial defeat of the French in the Napoleonic wars. PSV's home stadium, the Philips Stadion, was built at the same time as the inauguration of the club, although its current capacity was achieved by renovations and improvements over the years.

PSV garnered many honours in the football arena and have been credited as the club where many successful players such as Ruud Gullit, Romário, Ronaldo, Luc Nilis, Jaap Stam, and Ruud van Nistelrooy plied their trade and talents.

The Seventies

The mid and late 1970s were a golden era for PSV. They boasted quality players with the likes of Willy van der Kuijlen, the Van de Kerkhof brothers, Jan van Beveren, Jan Poortvliet, Harry Lubse and Huub Stevens and won two domestic cups and three domestic championships. PSV also won the UEFA Cup, their first major European title in 1978, by beating French opponents SC Bastia 3-0 in the final's second leg.

Hiddink era, 1987-1990

In 1988, coached by Guus Hiddink and with a team featuring players such as Ronald Koeman, Eric Gerets, Søren Lerby and Wim Kieft, PSV won the European Cup for the first and so far only time in their history, beating Benfica on penalties after a goalless final. Hans van Breukelen stopped the crucial penalty. Curiously, PSV took the trophy despite not winning any of its final five fixtures in the competition: they eliminated both Bordeaux and Real Madrid on away goals, with all four matches ending in draws. Following the European Cup win, PSV faced off with Libertadores winners, Club Nacional de Football of Montevideo. After a 2-2 draw, Nacional went on to defeat PSV Eindhoven in penalties to win their 3rd World Club title. Guus Hiddink still calls that game one of the hardest defeats of his career.^{[citation needed]} Under Hiddink's supervision PSV won three Eredivisie titles, three KNVB Cups and the European Cup.

1990-1998

After Hiddink left, English coach Bobby Robson, who managed the England national team, was signed as head coach. PSV won the Dutch league in both the 1990–91 and 1991–92 seasons. However, the team did not make the progress expected by the board in European competitions and Robson was informed that he would be leaving the club at the end of the 1991–92 season^[2]. Robson had problems with handling one of the keyplayers, Brazilian international Romário. Romário, one of the keyplayers, scouted by Piet de Visser, joined the team in the Hiddink era, and stayed until 1993, winning three titles for the club. After Robson left Hans Westerhof took over, finishing second in the competition. He was replaced by Aad de Mos but he finished third, despite having players like Gheorghe Popescu, Nii Lamptey and Arthur Numan. Hans van Breukelen retired after this season, having defended the goal for ten seasons, and named one of the best goalkeepers the club ever had. Ronald Waterreus and Stanley Menzo were signed to compete for a place in the goal in the 1994-1995 season. The younger Waterreus got his place under the bar for ten years. In his second season, Aad de Mos was fired in October 1994, and temporarily replaced by Kees Rijvers, until Dick Advocaat in December 1994, signed as head coach. With new strikers as Ronaldo, who scored 30 goals, and Luc Nilis, the team again finished third, far behind AFC Ajax and Roda JC. In Dick Advocaat's second season the performance was better, finishing second in the competition and reaching the quarter-finals of the European Cup against FC Barcelona. After five years, the 1996-1997 season proved to be successful, and PSV crowned themselves champions with players like Jaap Stam, Philip Cocu, Wim Jonk, Luc Nilis, Arthur Numan and talent Boudewijn Zenden.

1998-2002

In the late Nineties, the club had a team full of excellent players like Jaap Stam, Arthur Numan, Phillip Cocu, Boudewijn Zenden and Luc Nilis. After the 1998 FIFA World Cup, which was a success for Dutch national team, finishing fourth with excellent football, the club was a victim of that success. Key players were transferred and PSV started the 1998-1999 season with a complete new team. However, with striker Luc Nilis and newly-signed Ruud van Nistelrooy, the club finished third on the last day in a 2-3 win over FC Utrecht. They qualified for the Champions League and coach Bobby Robson left the club for Belgian coach Eric Gerets. In his first season, new players were Mark van Bommel, Swiss international Johann Vogel and a player of Gerets' former club Club Brugge, Eric Addo. Veteran Jan Heintze also returned to the club where he won the European Cup. The two forwards Luc Nilis and Ruud van Nistelrooy proved to be successful, (and scored together 48 goals in the competition) next to Arnold Bruggink, as well as the combination of the midfielders Vogel and Van Bommel. It meant the fifteenth title for PSV. Eric Gerets also wins the 2000-2001 title with new striker Mateja Kežman who replaced Luc Nilis and the injured Van Nistelrooy. Newcomers Kevin Hofland and John de Jong also show their talents. In the Champions League Anderlecht and Manchester United proved to be too strong, although a beautiful goal against Manchester United by Mateja Kežman is often remembered by the fans. The UEFA Cup quarter-final against 1. FC Kaiserslautern was a black day in PSV history when angry fans entered the field. PSV didn't made it to the semi-finals and received a fine by UEFA and was forced to play a European match on neutral ground. PSV won the Eredivisie again and striker Van Nistelrooy, recovered from a knee-injury, was sold eventually to Manchester United. As a result, PSV signed FC Twente striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink who had to compete with Kežman. Although the team still had some excellent players, a difficult start in the competition eventually saw them finishing second behind archrivals Ajax. In the Champions League PSV lost 4-1 to FC Nantes on September 11, 2001. PSV again didn't make it to the second round and had to play UEFA Cup instead. In the fourth round, PSV beat Leeds United F.C.. In the quarter-finals, for the first time in history, two Dutch teams played against each other in a European competition, with PSV facing Feyenoord. Both matches ended in 1-1. Feyenoord won the encounter in a penalty shootout, and went on to win the UEFA Cup. The team had lost faith in manager Eric Gerets, who was released by the club.

Hiddink era, 2002-2006

Soon after the successful 2002 FIFA World Cup for the Korea Republic, Guus Hiddink was signed as the new coach. Arjen Robben was one of the talented new players at the club, which resulted in a new title. PSV finished last in the group round of the Champions League. In the same season, the influences of Hiddink as coach of Korea are shown, as Park Ji-Sung and Lee Young-Pyo joined the team. In the 2003-2004 season, PSV failed to reclaim the title. In the Champions League group round the team finished third, despite having the same amount of points as Deportivo de La Coruña, but the Spanish side having a better result.

In the 2004/2005 season, PSV was at the top of their game with influential players such as Mark van Bommel, Johann Vogel and Phillip Cocu on midfield, and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Park Ji-Sung as forwards. For the first time in history, PSV reached the knockout stage of the Champions League, despite losing a couple of key players like Arjen Robben, Dennis Rommedahl and Mateja Kežman in the summer of 2004. Guus Hiddink created a new team with new players such as defender Alex, goalkeeper Gomes and forwards Jefferson Farfan and DaMarcus Beasley. PSV finished second behind Arsenal in the group stage of the Champions League and beat 2004 Champions League finalists AS Monaco with 1-0 and 0-2. After reaching the quarter-finals, another team from France came on their route: Olympique Lyon. The two matches ended in 1-1 and penalties were needed to decide the semi-finalists. PSV won the penalty shootout with Brazilian striker Robert scoring the final one. PSV went to Milan but lost the first tie against AC Milan with 2-0. PSV started well in the return match, with an early goal from Park Ji-Sung. A goal in the second half from Phillip Cocu showed the quality of Hiddink's team. However, AC Milan midfielder Massimo Ambrosini scored a goal in extra time of the second half. Despite a goal from Phillip Cocu a minute later, AC Milan went to the final on away goals. This is probably one of the strongest matches PSV has ever played and most fans remember the tears of Brazilian defender Alex, also known as The Tank.

Recent years

For 2006-2007 season, PSV contracted manager Ronald Koeman to succeed Hiddink. They also signed Ecuadorian player Edison Méndez and Mexican player Carlos Salcido after the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where they assisted their teams to the second round. Jan Wouters and Tonny Bruins Slot were brought in as the assistant-managers. André Ooijer and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink left the club after the start of the competition, and as replacements, Jan Kromkamp came from Liverpool and former Ajax striker Patrick Kluivert, signed for a year. Eventually he was released in July 2007. The top goal scorers of the season were Jefferson Farfán and Arouna Koné. The season saw the club building a gap with the other teams. The lead quickly dissipated in the 13 matches that followed. A draw of PSV at FC Utrecht in the penultimate round saw AZ and Ajax catching up. The three clubs were all on 72 points from 33 matches, with AZ on top due to goal difference. Ajax were second, PSV were third. They won the Eredivisie for 2006-2007 on April 29, with a 5-1, final day home victory against Vitesse Arnhem. AZ suffered a shocking 2-3 defeat away at Excelsior, while Ajax and PSV both won. Therefore, the title was decided only by goal difference, with PSV's bigger winning margin proving decisive as they bettered Ajax's goal difference by just 1 goal (+50 compared with +49). This is known as the most exciting and closest title races in many years. In the UEFA Champions League PSV qualified for the knockout stage for the third time in a row, second behind Liverpool, leaving Bordeaux and Galatasaray behind. In the first knockout phase, PSV defeated Arsenal at home with 1-0 by a goal from Edison Méndez. In the return, PSV struggled and keyplayer Alex scored an own goals. However, he scored the unexpected 1-1, which was enough for PSV to reach the quarter-finals. Liverpool again was the opponent, but an injured PSV squad lost 0-4 on aggregate. Although the club won the title, chairman Schuitema voiced criticism on coach Ronald Koeman after almost losing the championship, despite having a huge lead in December.

The Dutch comedian Theo Maassen once stole the UEFA Cup (won in 1978 against Bastia) from the Philips Stadion. For several years it was unknown who had been responsible for the disappearance of the trophy. The true story was confessed by Maassen himself, live on a talkshow focused on football^[9].
