Dick Advocaat Criticizes Feyenoord Director Dévy Rigaux: 'Absurd' Dévy Rigaux is the new technical director of Feyenoord, but he has not yet convinced Dick Advocaat. The experienced coach of Curaçao also strongly criticized Rigaux and his statements during his first press conference during a broadcast of the program De Oranjezomer. That first press conference gave the technical director from Club Brugge together with Robert Eenhoorn, who is the new general director of Feyenoord. The way Rigaux presented himself during that press conference did not please everyone. Advocaat was at least not impressed by the new policy maker. "I found it absurd, with all respect", Advocaat said in the live broadcast of De Oranjezomer. "A technical director is an elevated head scout. And they are now making him the decisive man. The decisive man is the general director, Eenhoorn." The latter made a waiting impression according to Theo Janssen and Advocaat. "Eenhoorn is a man who would normally jump in. He did not", Advocaat said. ## 'Roles at Feyenoord reversed' Dick Advocaat can at least not understand how everything is now going at Feyenoord. "The technical director must jointly with the head coach decide which players will come. But the most important man is the coach. And not the technical director, and not the general director. Now the roles are completely reversed", the experienced coach said. ## Statements by Dévy Rigaux about Robin van Persie During the press conference, the position of Robin van Persie as Feyenoord coach was also discussed. Dévy Rigaux could not say with one hundred percent certainty that Van Persie would retain his position. "We will still make an analysis of the past season, then we will make decisions. We must first get everything clear. We need time to speak to people. It is logical that we take the time to make that decision. We have not imposed a timing on ourselves. It is about where we want to go with Feyenoord. If that is clear, we will make decisions", the technical director said. On social media, references are made to the statements of Dick Advocaat at De Oranjezomer in connection with the statements of Rigaux about Van Persie. Advocaat functioned as an advisor to the technical staff of Feyenoord during the last part of the season. A widely shared opinion is that Advocaat in the broadcast of De Oranjezomer* actually functioned as the mouthpiece of Van Persie.
