The Rotterdammers central defender hoping that his side extends the 48-year-old’s ongoing contract.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ron-Vlaar-c31697, has expressed desire to offer his head coach, Ronald Koeman, a new contract that will keep him at De Kuip Stadion for a few more seasons. The 48-year-old tactician’s ongoing contract is due to expire in the summer
of 2012.
After the Rotterdam giants struggled to perform under the leadership of Mario Been in the 2010/11 campaign - where they eventually finished10th on the league table - the club management decided to part ways with Been and appointed Koeman to lead
the Rotterdammers in the 2011/12 campaign.
Since the 48-year-old’s arrival, the Rotterdam giants have achieved impressive results despite the KNVB beker Cup disappointment earlier last month.
Vlaar, the 26-year-old centre-back, has revealed that his side has played comfortably under the leadership of Koeman and would love to perform under his guidance for the seasons to come.
“The squad is comfortable in dealing with the trainer. The feeling is good in the group. If my opinion is asked, I will give Koeman a contract extension without any hesitance”, Vlaar said while talking to the media.
The centre-back then went on to reveal that his side has shown more stability since Koeman took over the managerial hot seat at De Kuip Stadion.
“We are developing rapidly as a unit and I believe that we are more stable than last season”, Vlaar added.
Occupying the sixth spot, the Stadiumclub are trailing the league leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar, by 10 points. The Rotterdammers have thus far performed impressively at home this season, but their erratic showings away from home have resulted in a drop down the league
table.
Koeman’s last test before the winter break will be against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede at De Kuip Stadion on Sunday, December 18. The 26-year-old central defender has urged his side to perform their best and secure maximum points at home to end the first half of
the season in style.
“We can beat FC Twente as we have already shown when we defeated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven. All three points would be a beautiful ending to the first half of the season”, Vlaar concluded.
Should Feyenoord secure maximum points in the upcoming encounter, they have a pretty decent chance to claim the fourth spot in the league table, provided Ajax Amsterdam and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463 also drop points in their respective fixtures.
