former Premier League sensation Robin van Persie has embarked on a new chapter in his illustrious career. The ex-Arsenal and Manchester United forward, fondly known as RVP, has been named the head coach of Dutch club SC Heerenveen.
The announcement, made via the club’s official website, marks a significant milestone for the 40-year-old Dutch striker, who hung up his boots in 2019 after a remarkable journey spanning Feyenoord, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Fenerbahçe.
Van Persie’s transition into coaching began at Feyenoord, where he served as a specialist and youth coach, honing his skills and passion for nurturing young talent. Now, as he steps into the role of head coach at SC Heerenveen, Van Persie brings with him a wealth of experience and a burning desire to make his mark in the managerial arena.

Adding a personal touch to his new venture, Van Persie will reunite with SC Heerenveen’s general manager Ferry de Haan, with whom he shared memorable moments as teammates during Feyenoord’s UEFA Cup triumph in 2002.
