The paths between Feyenoord and Melvin Boel will part at the end of the current season. After more than ten years of employment, the current trainer of Feyenoord Under 21 will continue his coaching career elsewhere.
General manager Dennis te Kloese: ‘I got to know Melvin as a driven and ambitious trainer who tries to get the most out of his group of players. Over the years he has made a good contribution to the development of many Academy players, several of whom have made their debut in Feyenoord 1 in recent years. We wish him lots of fun and success in his further coaching career.’
“Looking back, I have a proud feeling that I was able to work at this wonderful club for a long period of time,” says Boel, who will soon complete his UEFA Pro training. ‘I am happy with the opportunities Feyenoord has given me, but I also think it will be good for my development to take on a new challenge elsewhere. But first we will do everything we can with the team to bring the season to a good end.’
Boel has worked in various positions within Feyenoord Academy in recent decades. After starting as assistant coach of Feyenoord Under 18 in 2013, he was appointed International Development Coach a year later. Since 2017, the born Rotterdammer has had final responsibility for Under 17, Under 18 and Under 21. With Under 21, Boel is currently still in the race for promotion and will play the cup final at a later date.
