Former Manchester United and Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has been appointed the new manager of Feyenoord.
The 41-year-old, who won the Premier League title with United in 2013, has signed a deal to take charge of the Dutch club until 2027.
He leaves Heerenveen, who are currently ninth in the Eredivisie, after taking seven victories from his 23 games in charge.
Van Persie began his playing career with Feyenoord before moving to Arsenal in 2004 and then to Old Trafford eight years later. A move to Fenerbahce followed and he returned to Feyenoord in 2018, retiring a year later.
"Everyone knows how special my bond with Feyenoord is," said Van Persie. "I am enormously looking forward, together with a strong staff, to working with the player group at 1908 (the club's training ground) and then in De Kuip (the stadium), supported by the Legion (fans), playing matches and achieving successes together."
Feyenoord are third in the Eredivisie, 11 points behind leaders Ajax. They will play Inter Milan in the last 16 of the Champions League.
