Feyenoord have dismissed manager Robin van Persie following a tough Eredivisie season that saw them fall 19 points behind champions PSV.
Feyenoord have parted ways with head coach Robin van Persie following a deeply frustrating campaign at De Kuip. The Rotterdam heavyweights announced the dismissal on Sunday after a turbulent season left them drifting a massive 19 points behind Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven.
The club’s hierarchy felt a change was necessary to bridge the gap at the top of Dutch football. Feyenoord confirmed that the search for a new manager is already underway, with an official replacement expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
It marks a disappointing managerial chapter for the 42-year-old, who remains one of Dutch football’s most celebrated modern icons. Van Persie previously enjoyed a legendary playing career, earning over 100 caps for the Netherlands and starring for powerhouse clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, Fenerbahce, and Feyenoord itself. The club must now rebuild without him.
