Feyenoord has extended the contract of assistant coach John de Wolf by two years. Dick Advocaat’s right hand is now fixed in De Kuip until mid-2022.
“It is true that I will stay connected as an assistant trainer to this beautiful club for longer,” said 57-year-old De Wolf on Thursday. AD. Feyenoord wanted to make the news public in the run-up to De Klassieker against Ajax, but decided to refrain from it because of the outbreak of the corona virus.
“The club and I thought it was not at all appropriate to give more publicity here in the current situation – and all the problems that this causes in the country and the world. Obviously I am very happy that after this season I am just at Feyenoord stay, “said De Wolf.
The 57-year-old former defender retired as the head coach of Spakenburg in October 2019 to become assistant coach of Feyenoord. He went with a lawyer, who took over the duties of the then-departed Jaap Stam.
Advocaat’s contract runs until the end of the season and it is still unknown whether he wants to stay on longer. Under the leadership of 72-year-old Hagenaar, Feyenoord did not lose a match in the Eredivisie yet.
The Rotterdammers currently occupy third place on six points from front runners Ajax and AZ, but the question is whether the competition can still be completed. In any case, all sports events in the Netherlands will be closed until April 6 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus.
