De vele tegengoals van Feyenoord in de slotfase roepen vragen op over het wedstrijdmanagement van coach Robin van Persie. Hoe handelt hij in de beslissende fase van een duel? «We hielden geen bal vast Robin van Persie coach Feyenoord We zagen dat de centrale verdedigers het niet meer konden belopen»    - Robin Veldman coach van sc Heerenveen 17 Jan 2026 - NRC Steven Verseput  ROTTERDAM - Feyenoord-coach Robin van Persie zegt het zondag met een verslagen blik, in de persruimte van het Abe Lenstra Stadion. „Heel zuur”, noemt hij de late gelijkmaker van sc Heerenveen – het duel eindigde in 2-2. „Dat gebeurt ons te vaak. Zeker recent, dat geeft een extra vervelend gevoel.” In die late fase verliest Feyenoord onder Van Persie vaak de controle over duels. Als de druk oploopt, oogt zijn ploeg onzeker. Passief, zonder duidelijk plan. Met als gevolg dat regelmatig punten worden verspeeld. 21 van de in totaal 45 tegendoelpunten in alle competities (Eredivisie, bekertoernooi, Europe...

16 May 2025 - Leicester Mercury By JORDAN BLACKWELL jordan.blackwell@reachplc.com @jrdnblackwell SEAN Dyche is not actively seeking a return to management but could be swayed if the right job comes up, he has said amid links to Leicester City. Reports at the weekend named Dyche as a frontrunner to succeed Ruud van Nistelrooy, whose future at the King Power Stadium is in doubt. Dyche has been out of work since being sacked by Everton in the winter , and said he turned down opportunities in the immediate aftermath of leaving Goodison Park. But even after a few months out of the game, Dyche says he’s not looking to make a comeback right now. The 53-year-old has, in the past, been highly regarded at City for the work he did at Burnley, and he was on the shortlist to replace Craig Shakespeare at the King Power Stadium in 2017. Interviewed on Gary Neville’s The Overlap podcast, Dyche was asked if he was looking to return to management. “ Not at the moment. The timing is wrong anyway ,” he s...

Former United star replaces Cooper on a deal to June 2027 30 Nov 2024 The Guardian - Sport Ruud van Nistelrooy has described himself as “proud” and “excited” after being confirmed as the manager of Leicester on a contract to June 2027, less than three weeks after he left Manchester United. Van Nistelrooy will not take charge of today’s game at Brentford and instead will be in the stands at the Gtech Community Stadium as the first-team coach, Ben Dawson, leads the side, supported by the coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes. Van Nistelrooy will be presented by Leicester on Monday and his first game will be at home to West Ham on Tuesday. The former Netherlands international succeeds Steve Cooper, who was dismissed on Sunday with Leicester 16th, one point above the relegation zone. Van Nistelrooy joined United as an assistant to Erik ten Hag last summer and was placed in interim charge at the end of October after Ten Hag’s sacking. He oversaw three wins and a draw from his four matches. T...

Dal debutto nel Manchester United, 12 agosto 2001 (nel Charity Shield contro il Liverpool), i titolisti del Regno Unito si sono sbizzarriti giocando sulle doti realizzative e sul nome di uno dei più forti e più completi centravanti al mondo: Ruud van Nistelrooy. L’uomo decisivo, fantastico, il numero 10 (quello che Oltremanica storicamente identifica la prima punta): ditelo come volete, lui lo fa a modo suo, con le reti. Che “van Gol”, sin dai tempi del Den Bosch (18 in 67 partite), Heerenveen (13 in 31) e PSV (71 in 82), pennella in quantità industriali e in tutti i modi, di destro o di sinistro, di testa, al volo, in acrobazia, in girata dopo aver stoppato di petto e difeso il pallone, di rapina o in contropiede, sotto-misura e da lontano, con tocchi svelti e furtivi, con stoccate da fuori ...
