Local media reported on the 19th (local time) that Hwang In-beom's team Feyenoord (the Netherlands) has selected coach Robin van Persie Herenven as the currently vacant head coach of the first team.
Dutch media outlet Wöttbal International said the Feyenoord club requested the transfer of van Persie to the Herenven side.
Feyenoord is currently playing the season as acting coach Pascal Bostzart after replacing former coach Brian Friske this month.
On the 19th, acting Boszart presented his team with a 1-1 draw and a surprise 2-1 win in the second round of the European Champions League knockout stage playoff against AC Milan.
However, acting Boszart reportedly did not have the license to continue leading the professional team. This is why Feyenoord club quickly searched for a new official head coach.

Slot coach, who successfully led Feyenoord, took the helm of Liverpool last summer, replacing former coach Jurgen Klopp. Currently, Liverpool is leading the English Premier League alone with a move that has forgotten defeat.
Van Persie was born in Rotterdam, Feyenoord, and built his career in Feyenoord, Arsenal, and Manchester United. After serving as Fenerbahce, he ended his brilliant career in Feyenoord in 2019.
Van Persie, a retired coach of former Feyenoord coach Dick Advocaat, led the Feyenoord under-18 team between 2023 and 2024. He signed a two-year contract with Herenven in May last year and took on a new challenge as a manager.
As of the 23rd round of the Eredivisie, Herenven is in the middle, ninth place with 7 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses and 27 points.
Feyenoord is in fourth place, outside the European Champions League next season with 40 points. In the Netherlands, the team needs to finish in the top three in order to advance to the 'Champs'. It is currently three points behind Utrecht (43 points) in third place and 14 points behind Ajax (54 points). We need a leader who will drive hard for the rest of the season.

The experienced head coach Renee Haque, who was the right-hand man of former Manchester United coach Erik tenhach, will be appointed as Van Persie's head coach, according to local media.
Feyenoord plans to find other measures and try to recruit Van Persie after the season if Van Persie's appointment is not possible this month. Van Persie is under contract with Herenven until June 2026.
Attention is focusing on how to use Hwang In-beom, a key midfielder, if Van Persie, who is aiming for aggressive tactics, takes office. Hwang In-beom played various roles from defensive midfielders to offensive midfielders under former coach Friske. Coach Van Persie is at the highest level in terms of name value compared to the leader Hwang In-beom has been through. It was possible because I entered the big league.
Hwang In-beom, who joined Feyenoord as a club record last summer, has played a total of 22 games, including 13 league games and seven European Champions League games, with two goals and two assists.
Hwang In-beom, who was selected as the club's best player in the first half, has not played many games since injuring his calf in December last year. He missed both games against Milan.
