Overview
- Feyenoord confirmed Rigaux's appointment on Tuesday, May 26, and said he will start on June 1 under a three-year contract.
- Rigaux joins from Club Brugge, where he rose through youth and recruitment roles to become director of sport and helped broker high-value sales.
- He told a Flemish podcast he will operate through the club's general director and combine data-driven scouting with direct, personal assessment of players.
- The hire completes a wider reorganisation after Dennis te Kloese and Mark Ruijl left and follows Robert Eenhoorn's arrival as general director.
- Feyenoord expects Rigaux to tighten the link between Varkenoord academy output, first-team needs and transfer income, with decisions due fast during a busy summer window.
