This week it was announced in England that Ten Brother, the current Ajax coach, is the chosen coach of Manchester United to replace Ralph Rangnick starting next season and it was also announced that Rene Molenstein, another ex of Manchester United and who also coached Maccabi Haifa, will serve as his assistant.

It now turns out that Molenstein's option came up after 38-year-old Swan Percy felt the right move for him was to stay as assistant coach at Feyenoord and striker coach of his youth club.

Brother Tan talked to Van Persie and tried to persuade him to join him and return to the club where he played from 2012 to 2015, but heard from him that not only was he good at Feyenoord, but that he did not want to move his family once more from the Netherlands.

Moreover, Robin's son, Shaquille Van Persie, plays in Feyenoord's junior division and he wants to let him continue to develop in the team.

It should be noted that in the English media Molenstein is not the only one mentioned as someone who may be appointed assistant coach, but also the names of veteran Steve McLaren (who was a consultant to the Maccabi Tel Aviv coaching staff in 2017 among his many roles) and Peter Boss, currently Lyon coach who also moved to Maccabi Tel Aviv, when he coached her in 2016.
