Feyenoord Rotterdam has confirmed the appointment of Robin van Persie as the club’s new head coach, marking the beginning of a new era for the Eredivisie side.
“The next chapter starts here. Robin van Persie, welcome home again,” the club said in an official statement released on Sunday.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the former Netherlands international and Feyenoord legend has signed a contract keeping him at the club until June 2027.
Van Persie, who enjoyed a glittering playing career at clubs such as Feyenoord, Arsenal, and Manchester United, now takes on the managerial role at De Kuip, embarking on a new phase in his football journey.
Romano also confirmed the appointment last Friday via a post on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that Van Persie will be joined by René Hake as part of his coaching team.
“Robin van Persie signs today as Feyenoord’s new head coach until June 2027. Former Erik ten Hag assistant René Hake will join his staff too,” Romano wrote.
Hake previously worked as an assistant to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and brings valuable experience to Van Persie’s backroom staff.
