ROTTERDAM, Netherlands \u2014 Giovanni van Bronckhorst was hired Wednesday to coach Feyenoord in the Champions League next season, replacing his Netherlands teammate from the 2010 World Cup final Robin van Persie.<\/p>

Van Bronckhorst takes over again at Feyenoord where he won a Dutch league title as coach in 2017<\/a> , the Rotterdam club said in a statement<\/a> confirming he signed a two-year contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody knows my relationship with Feyenoord,\u201d said Van Bronckhorst, whose playing career started with the Rotterdam club. \u201cThe club is a red line through my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Persie was fired this month despite leading the team to a runner-up finish behind PSV Eindhoven and direct entry to the Champions League.<\/p>\n

After spending last season at Liverpool as an assistant to now-fired coach Arne Slot<\/a> , Van Bronckhorst\u2019s staff at Feyenoord will include Sipke Hulshoff, who also was at Anfield.<\/p>

The 51-year-old Van Bronckhorst started and finished his playing career at Feyenoord, and also had spells at Arsenal, Barcelona and Rangers.<\/p>\n

He retired after the 2010 World Cup, where he scored a spectacular goal in a semifinal win over Uruguay. The Dutch lost the final to Spain 1-0 in extra time.<\/p>\n

Van Bronckhorst\u2019s coaching career includes his four seasons at Feyenoord until 2019 and taking Rangers to the Europa League final in 2022.<\/a><\/p>
