WHAT FEYENOORD SAID
Feyenoord’s classy video said: “Every beginning has an end. Every end has a beginning. But the memories we made? They will last. Forever. From Drita to Tirana. From Rome to Madrid,. From De Kuip to the Coolsingel. We built up, and chased down.
“We experienced thrilling final minutes and historic Klassiekers. We stood strong. In Rotterdam. In The Netherlands. At Europe’s highest stage. We received compliments and won prizes. Now, we’re letting you go, Arne. With pride, we’ll build on the foundation you laid.
“Thank you for everything. For winning both the league and the cup. Thanks for the football. For the memories. Walk on, coach. With us in your heart. But remember one thing: Making memories.”
