Feyenoord is close to appointing Giovanni van Bronckhorst as its new head coach. According to sources, the paperwork is not yet complete, but the confirmation of his appointment seems to be a matter of time. Van Bronckhorst was previously the head coach of Feyenoord between 2015 and 2019 and led the club to the national title in 2017. Sipke Hulshoff, who was previously an assistant to Arne Slot at Liverpool, is also set to join Feyenoord. Hulshoff has worked as an assistant coach at Cambuur, Volendam, Feyenoord, Liverpool, and the Netherlands national team. The technical staff of Feyenoord will consist of club icon John de Wolf and the recently appointed Said Bakkati. Van Bronckhorst is 51 years old and has a successful career as a player and coach behind him. He played for top clubs like Arsenal and FC Barcelona and was the head coach of Rangers in Scotland between 2022 and 2024. Feyenoord sacked Robin van Persie just over a week ago after a disappointing season. Dévy Rigaux, the new technical director of Feyenoord, made the decision to sack Van Persie, together with the new general director Robert Eenhoorn. The club now wants to move forward with Van Bronckhorst as head coach. Other options were not considered, as Van Bronckhorst is the best candidate for the club. But it's still a wait to see if he's actually appointed. So the paperwork still needs to be completed. Feyenoord fans are happy with the news and hope that Van Bronckhorst will lead the club back to success. The club's management is confident that Van Bronckhorst is the right man for the job. He has a proven track record and is familiar with the club's culture. Van Bronckhorst's appointment is expected to be confirmed soon.
