Giovanni van Bronckhorst is returning to Feyenoord as the club’s head coach after the departure of Robin van Persie. Multiple outlets report that Feyenoord have reappointed van Bronckhorst to the role, marking his return to Rotterdam.

The BBC reports that the appointment is made on a two-year contract, with an option for a further one year. Other coverage describes the move as Feyenoord’s response to the end of the Van Persie era, with van Bronckhorst confirmed as their new head coach.

SoccerNews adds that this is the fourth time van Bronckhorst is involved with Feyenoord in a coaching capacity, and notes that he returns to the dugout for the first time since 2019. Channel NewsAsia similarly states that van Bronckhorst is back to coach Feyenoord, though it provides fewer contract and background details.

Overall, sources agree on his reappointment as head coach and the context of leadership change following van Persie’s exit, alongside reporting on the length of the new deal.
