Feyenoord sack Robin van Persie
8.6.26 Feyenoord
Feyenoord have dismissed Robin van Persie after 16 months in charge despite securing a second-place Eredivisie finish and qualification for next season's Champions League. The club said the decision followed an internal review that raised concerns about the team's playing style and a decline in results domestically and in Europe. Van Persie, a former Feyenoord player and youth coach, returned to manage the club in early 2025 after a brief spell at Heerenveen.
