Robin van Persie has been appointed the new manager of Feyenoord, with the former Manchester United and Arsenal forward signing a deal until 2027.
Van Persie began his playing career with Feyenoord before moving to Arsenal in 2004, joining Manchester United eight years later.
In May 2020, Van Persie worked as an assistant to Dick Advocaat at Feyenoord, and later took on coaching roles in his hometown club’s youth setup.
Van Persie collected seven victories from his 23 games in charge at Heerenveen, leading the club to ninth place in the Eredivisie.
“I am enormously looking forward, together with a strong staff, to working with the player group at 1908 [the club’s training ground] and then in De Kuip [the stadium], supported by the Legion [fans], playing matches and achieving successes together.”.
