Will he experience the same success as a coach as he did as a player? Robin van Persie, former prolific goalscorer for Arsenal and Manchester United, would be very close to becoming the coach of the Heerenveen club according to Ad.nl information website.
Discussion is ongoing
Currently working in the youth academy of Feyenoord Rotterdam, who wanted to keep him to entrust him with the U21 team, the 40-year-old, former captain of the Dutch national team, hopes to coach a professional team in the short term.
Heerenveen are currently 10th in the Eredivisie Championship, still largely dominated by PSV Eindhoven. Van Persie still needs to discuss the financial and sporting arrangements for his arrival with Ferry de Haan, chief executive of the club, with whom he won the UEFA Cup in 2002.
