Van Persie sacked by Feyenoord after 16 months

Article excerpt

Robin van Persie, the former Arsenal striker turned Feyenoord manager, has been sacked after just 16 months in charge. The Dutch club parted ways with the 41-year-old following one full season at the helm of the Eredivisie side. Van Persie, who won 30 caps for the Netherlands, took over the Rotterdam club in mid-2023 but failed to deliver the results the club's hierarchy demanded. His departure marks a swift end to his managerial experiment at one of the Netherlands' biggest clubs.
