Ronald Koeman appointed as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam manager – Dutch Eredivisie news
Feyenoord Rotterdam have appointed Ronald Koeman as their new coach. The Rotterdam giants were in search for a tactician and their hunt culminated in the 48-year-old’s appointment. Koeman has had successful spells with Ajax Amsterdam, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar.
The Rotterdam giants performed erratically in the season ended, finishing at a modest 10th place in the league table under the leadership of Mario Been. Although the club management assured the Dutch trainer that he would be leading their side
in the new season as well, the players’ growing distrust in the tactician’s abilities forced Been to step down from the Stadiumclub’s managerial hot seat earlier last week.
Huub Stevens then showed interest in the vacant coaching http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at De Kuip Stadion, while Martin van Geel, De Stadionclub technical director, wanted to lure Louis van Gaal to the club.
However, both moves failed to materialize and the club management has given the former AZ head coach a chance to steer Feyenoord to a new glorious era in the seasons to come.
Koeman revealed that his arrival at Feijenoord Stadion will certainly see many changes in the squad in the coming weeks, though, he admitted that the current squad has plenty of talent.
“It is my firm conviction that we will be capable of causing some surprises in the weeks to come this season. There is indeed plenty of quality and talent in this young squad. Along with the players and the entire club, I share the burning ambition to show
that we are much more capable than we have shown in the recent past”, Koeman stated on his new club’s official website.
Reports suggest that Jean-Paul van Gastel and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giovanni-c14985 van Bronckhorst will assist the 48-year-old in the new season, making the assistant coach Leon Vlemmings’ departure imminent at De Kuip Stadion.
A mammoth task awaits the 48-year-old at Feijenoord Stadion as the fallen Eredivisie giants have clearly indicated earlier that their new manager would not be allowed to bring reinforcements in the ongoing summer transfer market.
