Feyenoord huurt de Nederlandstalige Deen Brian Priske in als hoofdtrainer.
The Netherlands’ Rotterdam (AP) — After Arne Slot departed to take over as manager of Liverpool in lieu of Jurgen Klopp, the Dutch team Feyenoord appointed Brian Priske as their new head coach.
Feyenoord, which won the Dutch championship the year before and came in second to PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, announced on Wednesday that it has signed the Sparta Prague coach to a three-year contract.
Director of Feyenoord Dennis te Kloese revealed that after a rigorous vetting procedure by officials, the Dane checked off important boxes.
“He has shown at several clubs that he makes players better, advocates the attacking style of soccer that fans in De Kuip (stadium) like to see and gets results. A nice added bonus is that he speaks Dutch.” Sparta signed Priske two years ago and he immediately led the struggling team to its first league title after nine years. He successfully defended the title this year and did the double by winning the Czech Cup. Under Priske, Sparta reached the round of 16 in the second-tier Europa League where it was eliminated by Klopp’s Liverpool.
