The outgoing manager’s departure comes amid a broader leadership changes, with technical director Devy Rigaux and former AZ director Robert Eenhoorn joining as general manager in July, succeeding Dennis te Kloese who left for Monterrey. Rigaux indicated no role at Feyenoord is beyond reach, signaling a comprehensive review of staff and positions. Van Persie’s tenure began in February 2025, following his move from sc Heerenveen, and included an initial strong start but ended with mounting calls for his dismissal after underwhelming domestic and European performances.
Key points:
– Van Persie to exit Feyenoord after a turbulent 2025-26 season.
– Reshuffle includes Devy Rigaux and new general manager Robert Eenhoorn, with Dennis te Kloese having left.
– Van Persie’s record: 30 wins, 19 draws in 58 games; improved start but final results declined, finishing second in the Eredivisie and exiting in early cups/Europe’s competitions.
