After losing many of their key players, Feyenoord looked out of shape this season. They lost by five goals to one against Heerenveen in the last weekend in the game that witnessed the introduction of Ekramy in the 37th minute to replace the injured Timmer and to concede four goals. Following the defeat, the team coach Erwin Koeman decided to resign from his position and Ekrami will work with a new manager.

Sherif Ekramy's coach at Feyenoord Erwin Koeman decided to resign from his position as manager. The Dutch coach took this decision after seeing his side failing to book a Champions League play off position at the end of the regular league matches.

Feyenoord faced FC Heerenveen last weekend and lost heavily by five goals to one. The defeat meant that Feyenoord can only compete for a spot in the UEFA cup as they finished 7th in the table.

Now, the league is over and play offs will start, but Koeman will not be there to lead the Rotterdammers in play offs. Koeman said on the official website:

Erwin Koeman

"I’m not motivated one hundred per cent to lead this team into the playoffs. And they are very important for the club. The defeat to Heerenveen was the last straw. I have given everything I have, but it has to stop somewhere. That’s why I’m leaving now.’
