Criticism Mounts for Feyenoord Coach Robin van Persie

Robin van Persie is facing growing criticism as the head coach of Feyenoord. On Monday evening, he was not exempt from the scrutiny presented by the show Vandaag Inside, where doubts were raised about his coaching skills.

During the first episode of VI in 2026, René van der Gijp expressed, “I believe Van Persie is suffering from a level of self-overestimation.” Feyenoord is enduring a challenging period under his leadership, further complicated by the situation involving Quinten Timber. Van der Gijp emphasized, “The most crucial individuals at your club are the players. They need to perform. As a coach, you must always protect your players. What he (Van Persie) is doing with Timber should never happen.”
