Feyenoord have parted ways with manager Brian Priske, the Dutch club said on Monday, with the side fifth in the Eredivisie standings despite a win at the weekend, and with a Champions League tie with AC Milan two days away.

Feyenoord have parted ways with manager Brian Priske, two days ahead of their Champions League knockout tie with AC Milan, the Dutch club said on Monday.

Feyenoord sacked head coach Brian Priske on Monday, just two days before their Champions League playoff first leg against Milan. Priske, who took over in June after Arne Slot’s departure to Liverpool, faced mounting pressure following a series of inconsistent results.

Feyenoord could be a different opponent from the one Milan expected to face in the Champions League knockout phase play-off, as they decided to sack coach Brian Priske only two days before their meeting in Rotterdam.

Feyenoord have sacked their manager, Brian Priske, after just seven months, blaming inconsistent results and a “lack of chemistry” with senior club staff. The 47-year-old Dane was appointed in July as the successor to Arne Slot after the latter moved to English Premier League club Liverpool.

When Lille lost its opening Champions League match in September, only a few bold gamblers would have bet on the Ligue 1 side to qualify for the last 16 of European club soccer’s elite tournament.

Feyenoord has agreed to part ways with manager Brian Priske through a mutual agreement, the club announced Monday.
