Feyenoord Rehires Giovanni Van Bronckhorst as Coach for Champions League Season

The former captain signed a two-year deal with an option for one more year after Feyenoord finished 19 points behind PSV.

  • On Wednesday, Feyenoord appointed Giovanni van Bronckhorst as manager, with the 51-year-old signing a two-year contract with a one-year extension option to lead the Rotterdam club into next season's Champions League campaign.
  • Van Bronckhorst replaces Robin van Persie, who was fired earlier this month despite securing Champions League qualification; Feyenoord called the dismissal a "difficult decision" after trailing rivals PSV Eindhoven throughout the season.
  • During his previous four-year spell, Van Bronckhorst secured the 2017 Dutch league title and won five trophies total, including two Dutch Cups and two Super Cups, earning technical director Devy Rigaux's praise for his "deep understanding of the club's culture."
  • Sipke Hulshoff joins as deputy manager after recently serving as assistant to Arne Slot at Liverpool; the pair reunites after working together at Anfield during the past season to strengthen the club's technical staff.
  • The former Netherlands captain, who played for Arsenal, Barcelona, and Rangers, led Rangers to the 2022 Europa League final and now returns to lead Feyenoord into the upcoming Champions League campaign.
