FEYENOORD ROTTERDAM
TEAM NOTES
Coach: Ruud Gullit (since July 2004, resigned 23 May 2005) Dutch League
Record: 19-10-5 (90-51)
Rank: Fourth, 62 points (UEFA Cup)
Last Result: 6-3 win vs. ADO Den Haag, May 22
Streak: Won 1 Feyenoord finished a disappointing season with a goal-crazy 6-3 home win against ADO Den Haag. Bart Goor, Shinji Ono, Salomon Kalou and Dirk Kuijt gave the home side a comfortable 4-0 lead 47 minutes into the match. However, the visitors turned the tide with three goals in 10 minutes, but leading goal scorer Dirk Kuijt added two more to bring his total to 29 goals in 34 games and his career total to 100 league goals at the highest level. The average home attendance went down 8.3 percent to 38,282 per game. Revelation Salomon Kalou finished runner-up behind Dirk Kuijt on the domestic chart of leading goal scorers with 20. Feyenoord hopes to find a new club for Danko Lazovic, either in the Dutch League or abroad. The Serbian forward still hasn't secured a place on the first team after two seasons. A departure of midfielder Bart Goor isn't negotiable. His former Belgian club RSC Anderlecht wants to bring him back to Brussels, where played four seasons until 2001. The Rotterdam outfit is also interested in two other Belgian internationals, Timmy Simons (Club Brugge KV) and Jelle Van Damme (Southampton FC). Coach Ruud Gullit resigned after the final match. The former star of AC Milan and the Dutch national team felt that he received too little support from inside. Assistant coach Zeljko Petrovic also resigned. According to the Belgian press, Club Brugge coach Trond Sollied is one of the candidates for the job in Rotterdam. But FC Utrecht's Foeke Booy is reported to be the leading candidate. He fits perfectly in Feyenoord's profile for a new coach. Booy won two Cups and one Super Cup with FC Utrecht. Bruno Basto may leave the club this summer for 1.FC Nrnberg. Ferne Snoyl, who was on loan to FC Den Bosch, returns to "De Kuip" next season.
