​Ex-Man Utd, Arsenal star van Persie coaching son Shaqueel at Feyenoord

Former Manchester United and Arsenal striker Robin Van Perise is set to coach the Feyenoord Under-16 side.

Van Persie will be the new assistant manager, and is set to coach his son Shaqueel.

The Dutchman was one of the most prolific scorers in the Premier League during his pomp, and will be hoping to pass on some of that experience to the next generation of footballers.

According to Algemeen Dagblad, Feyenoord initially hired RVP as a first team striker's coach, and the job was part time.

Now he has earned a full time position with the youth side, and will get to work with 14-year-old son Shaqueel.
