Kwakman and Vink Say Rigaux Cannot Confirm Van Persie Coaching

Kees Kwakman and Marciano Vink said it is logical that new Feyenoord technical director Dévy Rigaux cannot answer whether Robin van Persie will be the club’s coach next season.

The comment was made in response to media queries about the coaching appointment.

Vink added that Van Persie holds a trump card that could influence the decision.

He did not specify the nature of the card.

Kwakman expressed that Van Persie could be granted the benefit of the doubt.

He suggested the former striker’s reputation may sway the board.

Rigaux was appointed as Feyenoord’s technical director earlier this year.

His role includes overseeing coaching appointments.

The club has not released an official statement on Van Persie's potential coaching role.

Feyenoord’s board remains silent on the matter.

Speculation about Van Persie's future at Feyenoord is expected to continue through the off‑season.

Any decision will likely be announced before the start of the next campaign.
