Adriaanse says NO to Feyenoord

As expected by most insiders, Co Adriaanse has given Feyenoord the cold shoulder. The former-biggest-club-in-Europe and currently just a mid-tier team in Holland presented their plans, possibilities and impossibilities to the former Ajax and FC Porto coach, but after a week of thinking, pondering and doubting. the Amsterdam-born coach said: No.

Rumour has it, that Co will take some time off, waiting for that big and ambitious European top club. Or maybe he’ll wait till next season….when Henk ten Cate’s contract at Ajax is over and Co can be re-united with his former Technical Director at AZ and Willem II and close friend Martin van Geel at Ajax.

Feyenoord will need to keep on searching. Dick Advocaat – topping the standings in Russia – said no while Mario Been wants to mature longer at NEC Nijmegen before taking on a major pain in the neck like Feyenoord.

The question is not who Feyenoord would want to hire, the question is which coach has the balls to lead a club in decline, without any money and with 34 mediocre players (bar 2 or 3)…
