Feyenoord Sign Club Brugge Director Dévy Rigaux on Three-Year Deal
Dévy Rigaux, 38, leaves his role as director of football at Club Brugge to sign a three‑year contract with Feyenoord. The move comes after Club Brugge secured the domestic league title.
Rigaux has overseen Club Brugge's football operations during a period that included the recent championship. His tenure at the Belgian club spanned several seasons, culminating in the league triumph.
The decision to depart is explained in detail, covering the internal shifts that occurred within Club Brugge. The narrative outlines the factors that influenced his move from Belgium to the Netherlands.
Club Brugge announced that Guilian Preud’homme will succeed Rigaux as director of football. Preud’homme is expected to continue the strategic direction set by his predecessor.
At Feyenoord, Rigaux will assume the director of football position under a three‑year agreement. The Dutch club aims to benefit from his experience in managing a title‑winning side.
The transfer highlights the close ties between Belgian and Dutch football administrations, especially following a successful season for Club Brugge. Such moves underscore the fluidity of senior staff between neighboring leagues.
Rigaux is set to begin his duties at Feyenoord later this month, with a focus on building on the club's recent progress. His appointment marks a significant staffing change for both clubs.
