Feyenoord announced on its official channel on the 23rd (local time) that it had appointed former Herenven coach Robin van Persie (42). The contract period is two years and four months until June 2027.
Feyenoord, who has been playing the season under Pascal Boschard since he replaced former Danish coach Brian Friske last month, has given Van Persie a new baton.
Van Persie, who was born and raised in Rotterdam, Feyenoord, played for Feyenoord twice as an active player. He contributed to winning the 2002 UEFA Cup (the predecessor of the Europa League), the 2018 Dutch Cup and the Dutch Super Cup.
After a legendary career at English Premier League clubs Arsenal and Manchester United, he returned to Feyenoord and retired. After his retirement, he led the Feyenoord under-18 team.
Van Persie, who left Herenven to return to his home village during the season, said "Everyone knows how special my bond with Feyenoord is. I'm happy to work with the team, play on the field with the support of the fans, and do great things together."

Then, "Coach Van Persie can help players develop based on their abundant international experience. His football vision is perfectly in line with what Feyenoord wants. "Playing soccer that combines aggressive and dynamic style, courage, intensity, and determination..." Head coach Renee Haque, who was the right-hand man of former Manchester United coach Erik tenhach, will assist coach van Persie.
Attention is focusing on how coach Van Persie, who aims for aggressive tactics, will use Hwang In-beom, a key midfielder. Hwang In-beom played various roles from defensive midfielders to offensive midfielders under former coach Friske. Coach Van Persie is at the highest level in terms of name value compared to the leader Hwang In-beom has been through. It was possible because I entered the big league.
Dutch newspaper The Telegraph said of van Persie, "'Of all the coaches (Feyenoord) have looked at so far, his football vision is the closest to the style of play of Arne Slot (Liverpool), who has been very successful in the last three seasons.' Van Persie values 'space' and 'oppression' and has always cited Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola as his leadership role model.

Hwang In-beom, who joined Feyenoord as a club record last summer, has played a total of 22 games, including 13 league games and seven European Champions League games, with two goals and two assists. Hwang In-beom, who was selected as the club's best player in the first half, has not played many games since injuring his calf in December last year. Playing in games with his team and the national team for nearly four months from his former team, Tsurvenazvezda, ended up being a problem. He also missed two European Champions League knockout stage playoff games against AC Milan and the Eredivisie Almera match (2-1 win) on the 23rd, when Feyenoord won the theater. Hwang In-beom is managing his condition with the goal of returning in March.
Feyenoord jumped to third place in the league with the victory. They will play Inter Milan in the round of 16 of the Champions League next month.
