The Dutchman had been managing the middle side of the Heerenveen table and has gone immediately
Feyenoord fired Brian Priske earlier this month and will sit third in Eredivisie, 13 Ajax points, with Pascal Bosschaart in the interim position before the appointment of Van Persie.

He rose through the ranks to become the manager of the team of children under 19 years before assuming the work in Heerenveen this summer, his first high -level gerial position.

Fortuna Sittard made two substitutions with a remaining minute on the clock, but a player could not leave the field, which resulted in an additional player on the grass.
Then, visitors received a corner and matched in the 90th minute thanks to a header by defender Rodrigo Guth, who said the points were shared.
And Van Persie criticized the 'scandalous' decision when his team lost the opportunity to jump to his opponents in the highest Dutch category.
'Twelve against eleven. I did not know that it was allowed, but apparently it is, 'said the former Arsenal striker and Manchester United to ESPN.
'It cannot be correct to play with twelve men for a minute before that serve and corner.
'I asked if they shouldn't do something with him. For example, reverse the goal. You can't be right. I think this is really scandalous.
'If they are playing with twelve men, we have a release against us, so it certainly had an effect. In addition, the rules indicate that they are eleven against eleven and not twelve against eleven.
They also suffered a 9-1 hit of Az in their fourth game at the beginning of this season.
