Feyenoord has immediately parted ways with René Hake and Brian Pinas. The duo follows Robin van Persie, who was sacked last week. Hake and Pinas were part of Van Persie's technical staff and are now leaving De Kuip as well. Feyenoord is opting for a completely new setup of the technical leadership towards the new season. Van Persie was already sacked last week after disappointing results. The club's leadership concluded that a sporting turnaround was necessary and decided to intervene. With the departure of Hake and Pinas, a definitive end is put to the era of the former international. Hake joined Feyenoord's technical staff last summer. The experienced trainer had earlier successful periods at Go Ahead Eagles and FC Utrecht. Pinas played an important role within the staff in terms of individual development and field training. Feyenoord says both trainers are thanked for their commitment and professionalism. The club expects to provide more clarity on the technical staff setup and the search for a new head coach in the near future. For Hake, a new challenge in England is also on the horizon. The 54-year-old trainer is considered one of the candidates to become manager at Leicester City. The club is looking for a new end-responsible person after being relegated from the Championship and sees Hake as a serious option. Although former Rangers FC manager Russell Martin is currently considered the main candidate, the Dutchman is clearly on the shortlist. Hake has been open to a head coach position for a longer period and has been screening for a departure from De Kuip in recent months. After Van Persie's departure, a departure from the experienced coach seems like a logical next step. A move to Leicester City could be a suitable solution for Hake.
