Dévy Rigaux joins Feyenoord Rotterdam as technical director

Dévy Rigaux has confirmed his move to Feyenoord Rotterdam as the club’s new technical director. The current Club Brugge KV board member has given his word to the Rotterdam side and already knows the earliest start date at De Kuip. The Belgian executive’s decision follows months of speculation linking him to Feyenoord Rotterdam’s restructuring efforts. His appointment comes as part of the club’s broader push to strengthen its sporting leadership under head coach Arne Slot. Rigaux, who has previously held roles at Club Brugge KV and other Belgian clubs, brings extensive experience in talent identification and squad building. His arrival signals Feyenoord Rotterdam’s intent to reinforce its technical structure ahead of upcoming European campaigns. The earliest possible start date for Rigaux at Feyenoord Rotterdam is now set, though the exact day has not been disclosed. Club officials have indicated the transition will be carefully managed to ensure minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Feyenoord Rotterdam’s sporting director position has been vacant since the departure of Frank Arnesen last season. Rigaux’s appointment is expected to bring stability and a clear vision to the club’s transfer strategy. Club Brugge KV has yet to comment publicly on Rigaux’s departure, which marks a significant shift in their own technical hierarchy. The Belgian Pro League club will now begin the process of identifying his successor. Rigaux’s move underscores Feyenoord Rotterdam’s proactive approach in assembling a leadership team capable of competing domestically and in European competitions. The club has emphasized the importance of long-term planning in recent months. With the new technical director’s arrival imminent, Feyenoord Rotterdam supporters are anticipating further announcements regarding the club’s summer transfer plans. The focus remains on strengthening the squad before the next competitive cycle begins. The earliest start date for Rigaux will be determined in coordination with both Feyenoord Rotterdam and Club Brugge KV to ensure a smooth handover.
