Feyenoord targets Moroccan coach Said Bakkati
The Rotterdam club wants to recruit the 44-year-old technician next season. Said Bakkati would strengthen Robin van Persie’s bench, facing the imminent departures of his assistants to other teams.
The Dutch formation is anticipating a revamp of its technical staff. Etienne Reijnen, current assistant to the head coach, is attracting Liverpool’s interest. Unlike his failed departure two years ago in the wake of Arne Slot, the former AZ and Groningen player is about to obtain the qualifications required to work in England. With René Hake also being courted by several clubs, the management is working to find support, according to ad.nl.

To compensate for these likely losses, the board has made Said Bakkati its priority. This field specialist currently supports Maurice Steijn at Sparta and works with Michael Reiziger’s Dutch prospects. Although his current employer has submitted a multi-year contract extension offer, Feyenoord hopes to convince him to ignore this proposal and commit to the south of Rotterdam.

The former Heerenveen, Emmen and PEC Zwolle player already knows the Kuip stadium perfectly. He worked there as Jaap Stam’s right-hand man before continuing under his successor, Dick Advocaat. Having passed through Jong Ajax, Reading, Cincinnati, The Hague and Ajax, this experienced technician, whose son Amar plays for Jong Cambuur, ticks all the boxes to assist Robin van Persie.
