After the 4-0 win from Manchester City on Matchday 1 in September in De Kuip stadium, City won all their 13 matches.
Feyenoord also played 13 matches since then, but only managed to win 3, under which one in the Dutch Cup match against the amateurs of AVV Swift.
For the rest they played 4 draws and suffered 6 defeats.
In Van Bronckhorst’ debut season as coach, Feyenoord suffered 7 defeats in a row, and then Dick Advocaat was appointed as advisor in February 2016, and things improved, and Feyenoord even won the Dutch Cup, and led the club to the first championship in 18 years on his own the next season. Asked the question, Van Bronckhorst stated he had no need to repeat this scenario this time.
“I have no need for that now. Last year we also did well with this staff. So now we also will just continue with this group.”
