Feyenoord said on the club's official channel on the 23rd (Korea time) that `Robin van Persie became Feyenoord's official coach. Van Persie announced that he will lead the first team from next week. The contract period is until the summer of 2027.
Director Van Persie said "I'm proud and honored. Everyone knows how special Feyenoord's relationship with me is. I've worked with a great squad, coaching staff, and I'm really looking forward to playing with the support of the club and achieving success together", he expressed his feelings.
Feyenoord general manager Denis de Closet said he was "delighted to appoint a true club icon named Van Persie as the club's new manager. Van Persie knows very well about the club and knows exactly what it takes to produce results. Van Persie said, "Based on our tremendous international experience, we will help our players develop further here."
Van Persie's trip to Feyenoord was foreseen early on. Dutch media familiar with Feyenoord's news '1908.nl ' reported that Van Persie and Renee Haque are scheduled to succeed Brian Friske, who was replaced. The media outlet said that Feyenoord had already made official contact with Van Persie and Haque's agents and that the club's purpose was to have Van Persie, the manager of Heyrenvein, in charge of the team.

The reason was poor performance. Feyenoord was selected as the favorite along with Ajax and PSV Eindhoven this season. In the European Champions League, they reached the round of 16, but in Eredivisie, they are in fifth place, 12 points behind the leader Ajax. He broke his three-game losing streak with a 3-0 victory over Rotterdam in the Derby on the 9th, but whether he will play in the European Grand Prix next season is in the fog. Feyenoord Director Dennis Decloset said, "Fyenoord has made an impressive achievement in the UCL with Friske. Unfortunately, the team's structural development is too small.", he pointed out.
Van Persie is a legendary Dutch striker who does not need an explanation. He also scored 50 goals in 102 matches for the Netherlands, the most goals scored in a Dutch A-match.
After his debut with Feyenoord, he moved to Arsenal in 2004 and became a global striker. In 2012, he moved to rival Manchester United and won the league trophy. Van Persie retired from active duty in 2019 after playing for Fenerbahce and Feyenoord.
After retirement, he turned into a leader. While coaching his former team, Feyenoord under-18 team, he became the first-team coach of Heyrenvein last summer. Van Persie was quickly recognized for his leadership. Heyrenvein is ninth out of 18 teams with 27 points this season. It is a better-than-expected result.

The obstacle was that an agreement with Heyrenvein was needed to bring in Van Persie, but Feyenoord organized it neatly and embraced Van Persie.
The eyes are on Hwang In-beom's location. Hwang In-beom played a solid starting role under Friske. Coach Friske is the one who recruited Hwang In-beom. As he has shown such unrivaled performance and skills in the midfield, he is expected to show off his unchanged position under the new coach. Hwang is considered one of the best midfielders in the league.
