On 12 March 2012 Rutten was sacked as PSV manager following losses to Twente (2–6) and NAC (3–1) in the Eredivisie and to Valencia (4–2) in the Europa League.

The following season Rutten served as head coach of Vitesse Arnhem where John van den Brom had been head coach before moving to Belgian side R.S.C. Anderlecht. Rutten left Vitesse Arnhem after the 2012-13 Eredivisie season, finishing in 4th place.
