Robin van Persie has been appointed the manager of Feyenoord on a deal until 2027.
Van Persie began his playing career with Feyenoord before moving to Arsenal in 2004, joining Manchester United eight years later. He left Old Trafford for Fenerbahce in 2015 and then returned to Feyenoord in 2018, retiring a year later.
“Everyone knows how special my bond with Feyenoord is,” said Van Persie. “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, supported by the Legion [fans], playing matches and achieving successes together.”
Feyenoord are third in the Eredivisie, 11 points behind the leaders, Ajax.
