Why this is important

Dévy Rigaux, Feyenoord's director, plays a crucial role in the club's management but remains largely in the background. His cautious demeanor could have an impact on the club's transfer strategy, particularly at a time when competition in the Eredivisie is fierce. Rigaux's decisions could determine how Feyenoord is positioned in the coming seasons.

Key findings

• Dévy Rigaux: The unknown man at Feyenoord.
• The Feyenoord director Dévy Rigaux stays out of the public eye and cancels the majority of the transfer market.
• 'Rigaux is a kind of 'No-man' in Feyenoord'.

In the latest episode of "De Huismeester" on Goal, journalists Martijn Krabbendam and Michel van Egmond talk about the latest developments at Feyenoord. They pay particular attention to the club's director, Dévy Rigaux, who hardly appears in public. Martijn Krabbendam tells how he first met Rigaux. This happened at a meeting that Rigaux held with a small group of journalists in a restaurant in Rotterdam. Krabbendam describes that he had the impression that it was a meeting intended to polish Rigaux's image a little. "I had the impression that it was important to him to become a little better known, but that was just the first impression. Now, a few months later, I see that it's more of the opposite. He wants, or seems to want, to stay out of the public eye completely, and he does that quite consistently. I also saw that in this meeting, where some questions were allowed, but there were also a lot of topics that he didn't want to talk about. And yes, that surprised me a little bit, because I thought "Okay, no one wants to see a beautiful picture, but that's not the case." Krabbendam also reported that Rigaux is largely holding back on the transfer market and hardly makes any decisions that would be beneficial for the club. "Bij de transfers is also a beetje a raadsel wat hij doet. Hij zegt eigenlijk overal nee tegen. Feyenoord heeft natuurlijk a hele goede zomer had last year, with veel goede aankopen, en dat zorgt he natuurlijk ook voor dat other clubs now naar If other clubs come with their offers, those at Feyenoord actually never come, or they don't want to sell anything. We don't want to lose anyone. But the question is, of course, how do we take part in the offers? If a player like Santiago Gimenez were suddenly taken away from Feyenoord, how would the other clubs react to that? Beleid van Feyenoord is absolutely against nobody, maar that brings as a club naturally also in a possible position, as nobody wants to sell, maar he comes also to nobody who shows us for the sake of those players kopen That is a bit crazy and he has a beetje on that Rigaux daar also a beetje zijn responsible in probing the ontwijken. When it comes to new signings, it's dead at Feyenoord now, this season, actually only one name that was mentioned in the club, that's the player from NAC Breda, who played very well there, but he was also pursued by many other clubs. And when it came to actually making a transfer, Feyenoord said no again, we don't want to lose anyone, even if this player is someone who would join Feyenoord. So it's all very, very puzzling, and I also find it very, very strange that someone in such a high position as the director of Feyenoord cares so little or not at all about the club's image. Because I think that's a bit part of it, especially with a club like Feyenoord, it's not just any club, it's a big club, it's a club with a long tradition, and the director should also take care of the tradition and the status of the club and its members. But he doesn't think he can do anything with the Rigaux, and that's also a bit different.

What happens next

It remains to be seen whether Rigaux will change his strategy and become more active in the transfer market. Given the current situation, Feyenoord may be forced to sign new talent in order to compete for the top spots in the Eredivisie. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if Rigaux opens up in the future and communicates more about his plans for the club.
