SC Heyrenbein announced on his official website on the 17th (local time) that he has signed a two-year contract with Van Persie, adding that he will take the helm from next season.
“Van Persie has taken his first step as a professional coach. He is ambitious and passionate, and he knows how to bring the team together,” he said. “We felt trust in him.”
Van Persie, who is familiar to soccer fans as he once shared a team with Park Chu-young (Ulsan HD FC) at Arsenal and led Manchester United’s last heyday, is a striker who represents the 21st century. He has 272 goals and 89 assists in 592 professional matches, and has scored 50 goals in 102 matches for the Dutch national team, making him the highest scorer ever.
Notably, Van Persie was among the best at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. At the time, Van Persie earned the nickname “Flying Dutchman” by linking a Daly Blint cross with a fantastic diving header goal at a match against Spain.
Van Persie, who took off his soccer shoes after his Feyenoord career in the summer of 2019, has been on the “elite course” as a leader. He served as coach from 2020 to 2023 to assist the first-team coach, and for the next year, he served as the head coach of the U-18 team to nurture promising players.
Hayrenvein, who is in the middle of Eredivisie’s 10,000th rank, is committed to regaining his former glory along with Van Persie. Hayrenvein ranked second in the league under the leadership of Pope de Hahn in the early 2000s, and seems to have slowed down recently.토토사이트 순위
While coaches who used to be legendary players are mixed in many ways, Van Persie draws attention to what kind of career he will have as a coach.
