If anyone wonders how Robin Van Persie got "easily" the job of manager at Feyenoord, that dude was always there all his life. I mean sure he was transferred to other teams at times, but he was raised there as a kid, played there at the main team as an adult, and he always goes back there, after his playing career was over, he literally just sent there and got his licenses and started training with the youth team and all, basically earning his managerial debut in another team but until then spent time as coach in many stages of Feyenoord as well.
This is why I honestly can see why Feyenoord ended up getting him, this dude basically spent 20+ years there in total, who knows the team better than him? If he is a good manager, he should shine here even more.
I think it’s become a normal occurrence nowadays to see former players emotionally linked to a particular club return to occupy managerial roles, I think it is easier for these players to get this roles. It is no surprise in the case of Van Persie that he is able to get such a role, Frank Lampard got it at Chelsea, Ole got it at Manchester United, Xavi got it at Barcelona and Arteta got it at Arsenal so it’s like a norm now.
Zidane managed Real Madrid, we should not forget that. He may have managed his old team many years ago, but achieving success with this is the most important thing. Zinedine Zidane achieved this. He achieved great success at Real Madrid and did not manage another team after him. There are very few coaches who have such a successful career again. I hope Robin Van Persie will be successful and progress towards the top in his career as a successful manager.
