Robert Eenhoorn Reflects on Feyenoord's 100 Days Under His Leadership

Robert Eenhoorn, Feyenoord's general director, has been in his position for 100 days. He and technical director Dévy Rigaux started by analysing the club's situation, focusing on the staff and player group. This analysis led to the decision to let go of coach Robin van Persie.

Eenhoorn and Rigaux' first major test was the transfer window. However, Feyenoord failed to sign any new players. A bid from Al-Ittihad for Aniss Hadj Moussa was rejected due to a low initial payment. "We received an offer where only ten percent of the total sum would be paid in the first term," Eenhoorn explained. "That was a red flag."

Feyenoord's future is also uncertain when it comes to their stadium, De Kuip. The club bought the stadium from the city of Rotterdam, but the future of the stadium is still unclear. Eenhoorn suggests that a large renovation is being considered, saying, "Let's first see if we can stay here for 50 to 70 years." This would allow the club to increase revenue and make De Kuip a more attractive destination for fans and business partners.

Eenhoorn is aware of the need to increase revenue and make the stadium more attractive. He is also mindful of the need to consider the long-term implications of any investment. "You need to have the answer to that question before you think about other big investments," he said.
