Feyenoord sack head coach Brian Priske after poor run | OneFootball

Feyenoord have sacked head coach Brian Priske following a poor run of results.

Priske took the reins at De Kuip last summer following Arne Slot's departure to Liverpool and secured their place in the Champions League's play-off round.

But the Eredivisie outfit took the decision to dispense with the Dane's services just 48 hours before their play-off first leg clash against Milan on Wednesday.

"It is very disappointing for all parties that we had to come to this decision,2 said technical director Dennis te Kloese.

"Although Feyenoord achieved some impressive results with Brian, especially in the UEFA Champions League, the first team’s performance has been far too inconsistent in recent months, and unfortunately, we see too little structural progress."

"As a professional and as a person, I still hold Brian in high esteem. However, sometimes you have to conclude that, despite everyone’s good intentions, things are just not working out, and you have reached a point where there is not enough support to continue forward together."

Feyenoord, who sit 12 points behind Ajax in the Dutch top flight, plan on confirming Priske's interim appointment on Tuesday ahead of their encounter with Milan.
