In the [[1999–2000 Eredivisie|1999–2000 season]], Van Nistelrooy had scored 29 goals after just 23 matches, but after two serious injuries, an imminent transfer to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] was forced to be postponed for a year.<ref name="vannistelrooy"/> PSV were comfortably crowned league champions in Gerets' debut year, creating a 16-point gap with runner-up Heerenveen.<ref name="2000season">{{cite web |title=Historie: seizoen 1999/2000 |url=http://psv.netwerk.to/historie/seizoen.php?seizoen=2000 |publisher=psv.netwerk.to |access-date=25 June 2013 |language=nl |archive-date=29 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029214334/http://psv.netwerk.to/historie/seizoen.php?seizoen=2000 |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[2000–01 Eredivisie]] was also won with new striker [[Mateja Kežman]], who replaced Van Nistelrooy and the departed Nilis.

Gerets was released and Guus Hiddink returned to the club as coach and director of football, with [[Arjen Robben]], [[Park Ji-sung]], [[Lee Young-pyo]] joining PSV.<ref name="robson">{{cite web |title=Guus Hiddink |url=http://www.psvweb.nl/trainer.php?id=1 |publisher=PSVweb |access-date=25 June 2013 |archive-date=17 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017065436/http://www.psvweb.nl/trainer.php?id=1 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="2002team">{{cite web |title=Teams: PSV-selectie archief – selectie 2002/2003 |url=http://www.psv.nl/Teams-1/Selectie-archief.htm?season=342 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130628043523/http://www.psv.nl/Teams-1/Selectie-archief.htm?season=342 |url-status=dead |archive-date=28 June 2013 |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=25 June 2013 |language=nl }}</ref> Their first season immediately brought a league title, secured in the last match against Groningen.<ref name="2003season">{{cite web |title=Historie: seizoen 2002/2003 |url=http://psv.netwerk.to/historie/seizoen.php?seizoen=2003 |publisher=psv.netwerk.to |access-date=25 June 2013 |language=nl |archive-date=23 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023043458/http://psv.netwerk.to/historie/seizoen.php?seizoen=2003 |url-status=live }}</ref> But in the 2003–04 season, PSV failed to reclaim the championship.<ref name="2004season">{{cite web |title=Historie: seizoen 2003/2004 |url=http://psv.netwerk.to/historie/seizoen.php?seizoen=2004 |publisher=psv.netwerk.to |access-date=25 June 2013 |language=nl |archive-date=23 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023043455/http://psv.netwerk.to/historie/seizoen.php?seizoen=2004 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2004, the PSV board clashed with Hiddink and Van Raaij concerning the expenditures. Van Raaij left in September and Hiddink never got along with his successor Rob Westerhof, who sided with the board.<ref name="hiddinktruth">{{cite web |title=Guus Hiddink en zijn eigen waarheid |url=http://nrcboeken.vorige.nrc.nl/recensie/guus-hiddink-en-zijn-eigen-waarheid |publisher=NRC Handelsblad |access-date=25 June 2013 |language=nl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017133719/http://nrcboeken.vorige.nrc.nl/recensie/guus-hiddink-en-zijn-eigen-waarheid |archive-date=17 October 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Even though Kežman and Robben left in 2004, Hiddink had gradually built a powerful squad, with [[Heurelho Gomes]], [[Alex (footballer, born June 1982)|Alex]], Park, Lee, [[Mark van Bommel]] and the returning Phillip Cocu. The Eredivisie was won five matches before the end, and Willem II was beaten in the cup final. After eight consecutive Champions League group stage eliminations, PSV reached the [[2004–05 UEFA Champions League#Knockout stage|knockout stage]]. There, they beat [[AS Monaco FC|Monaco]] 3–0 on aggregate and [[Olympique Lyonnais|Lyon]] after penalties. The first semi-final against Milan was lost 2–0.

After the 2004–05 season, Van Bommel, Vogel, Park and Lee left. With new signing [[Timmy Simons]] and youth prospect [[Ibrahim Afellay]], PSV reached the Champions League knockout stage again. In that round, Lyon revenged PSV by winning 5–0 on aggregate.

A surprise AZ defeat in the last fixture meant that PSV's 5–1 victory against [[SBV Vitesse|Vitesse]] was enough to edge the title win; PSV had a single goal difference with Ajax.<ref name="psvslinkt">{{cite web |title=Wéér puntverlies PSV, voorsprong slinkt |url=http://www.psv.nl/Nieuws/Nieuwspagina/Weer-puntverlies-PSV-voorsprong-slinkt.htm |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130628043532/http://www.psv.nl/Nieuws/Nieuwspagina/Weer-puntverlies-PSV-voorsprong-slinkt.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=28 June 2013 |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=25 June 2013 |language=nl }}</ref><ref name="lurven">{{cite web |title=PSV eredivisiekampioen na denderende ontknoping |url=http://lurven.nl/222/psv-eredivisiekampioen-na-denderende-ontknoping/ |publisher=Lurven |access-date=25 June 2013 |language=nl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303230112/http://lurven.nl/222/psv-eredivisiekampioen-na-denderende-ontknoping/ |archive-date=3 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Koeman was criticised by the board after losing a big lead, but was eventually allowed to remain as coach. In the 2007–08 season, after Cocu and Alex left, the team was disqualified from the KNVB Cup after fielding a suspended [[Manuel da Costa (footballer, born 1986)|Manuel da Costa]]. In October, Koeman took up the coaching job at [[Valencia CF|Valencia]], prompting PSV to first appoint [[Jan Wouters]] and then [[Sef Vergoossen]] as caretakers.
