Robin van Persie is no longer coach of Feyenoord Rotterdam. According to a press release issued by the club, the former Dutch international has been let go.
The 42-year-old Van Persie took charge of the team at last season's championship runners-up, where Swiss defender Jordan Lotomba works, in February last year. Van Persie's contract would also have been valid for the coming season.
It was a "difficult decision" to let the former world-class attacker go, admitted Feyenoord's technical director Devy Rigaux openly. "He deserves credit for finishing a difficult season in second place," Rigaux emphasized. However, a "thorough" analysis had led to the conclusion "that it is better for us to start next season with a new head coach".
