<p>The 41-year-old will depart Heerenveen, where he has only been in charge since the summer, to take on his new role with the club where it all began as a player, according to <a href="https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/feyenoord-en-heerenveen-rond-van-persie-komt-naar-de-kuip" target="_blank"><em>Voetbal International</em></a>. They felt they could not deny him the move.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Van Persie began and ended his professional career at Feyenoord, scoring 46 goals in 122 appearances. He is at the very beginning of his coaching career but the chance to take over at his "first love" has proved too difficult to ignore.</p>

A member of Erik ten Hag's coaching staff at Old Trafford, Hake will be joined by John de Wolf and Etienne Reijnen, who remain as assistants after the departure of interim boss Pascal Bosschaart.</p>
