Feyenoord’s CEO, Dennis Te Kloese, said that Van Persie adapted the profile of the coach they were looking for.

“We are delighted that with Robin Persie we can name a real club icon as the new Feyenoord coach,” said Te Kloese. “Robin knows the club incredibly and knows exactly what is needed to get results.

“With his extensive international experience, Robin can help players develop further. On the other hand, his football vision fits perfectly with what we take into account in Feyenoord: attack and savor football, Combined with guts, intensity and struggle. “
