Former Dutch international Ruud Gullit will take over as head coach of Feyenoord from July 1st.
The Dutch first division club, currently fourth in the league, also appointed Willem II Tilburg coach Mark Wotte as technical manager. Wotte will start his new assignment immediately.
"I always wanted to work as coach for Feyenoord," said Gullit, who was a former player with the side."The club still means something special for me."
The former Chelsea and Newcastle United coach is expected to assist national coach Dick Advocaat during the European Championship finals in Portugal this year before he takes over at Feyenoord.
