Overview
- Feyenoord confirmed on Tuesday that Dévy Rigaux will join from Club Brugge as technical director on 1 June under a three-year contract.
- Rigaux built his career inside Club Brugge in roles from youth coach to director of sport and is credited in coverage with helping engineer high-value sales such as Ardon Jashari, Igor Thiago and Antonio Nusa.
- The appointment fills a central vacancy created by recent departures and moves in Feyenoord’s hierarchy, including Dennis te Kloese’s planned exit and Robert Eenhoorn’s promotion to general director while Mark Ruijl already left for Excelsior.
- Feyenoord says Rigaux’s experience in scouting, player development and transfer planning is intended to guide urgent summer decisions on the first team, recruitment structure and internal role division.
- The hire links Feyenoord’s Varkenoord youth emphasis to a Club Brugge-style model of developing talent for sporting results and market sales, which could increase first-team chances for academy players and shape transfer revenue this summer and beyond.
