Former legendary striker of London’s Arsenal and Manchester United, Robin van Persie, has been relieved of his duties as head coach of Rotterdam’s Feyenoord.
Details: The management of the Dutch powerhouse has made a radical decision to terminate their cooperation with the iconic figure ahead of schedule, despite his legendary status in local football. The club officially announced the departure of their head coach, emphasizing that the team will begin preparations for the new 2026/2027 football season under the guidance of an entirely new manager.
Despite the unexpected and tough decision to dismiss him, the Rotterdam bosses tried to maintain decorum and publicly expressed their sincere gratitude to the former Netherlands national team striker. Nevertheless, a disappointing end to the campaign and a lack of desired results forced the club’s leadership to make a dramatic shift in direction.
It’s worth noting that under his leadership, the Rotterdam club finished second in the Eredivisie.
Reminder: Feyenoord winger Raheem Sterling was arrested following a car accident that occurred while under the influence of drugs.
