Rigaux has faced significant challenges in his first transfer period at Feyenoord, with the club having a salary house that put pressure on the budget. This house, which included multiple high-earning players, has been a major concern for the club. As a result, Feyenoord has had to let go of several key players, including Luka Ivanusec, Calvin Stengs, Ramiz Zerrouki, and Anel Ahmedhodzic.
The departure of these players has created space for the future, but it has also highlighted the need for Feyenoord to reserve money for the stadium they now own. The value of the selection at Feyenoord has not met expectations over the last two years, with player depreciation and the cost of releasing two former coaches and their staff adding to the financial burden.
Rigaux will provide an explanation for his decisions during his first transfer window at Feyenoord on Thursday. This will be an opportunity for him to address the challenges he has faced and outline his plans for the future.
