ROTTERDAM, June 17 : Feyenoord have appointed Giovanni van Bronckhorst as their new coach, bringing him back to the club to replace Robin van Persie, who was fired earlier this month.

Van Bronckhorst took Feyenoord to the Dutch league title in 2017, in the middle of a four-year spell in charge of the club. They also won the Dutch Cup twice and two Super Cups, and the five trophies make Van Bronckhorst the club’s most successful coach.

He was also a player at the club and captain of their Dutch Cup-winning team in 2008.

The 51-year-old signed a contract for two seasons, with an option for a third year, the club announced on Wednesday.
