Dévy Rigaux Leaves Club Brugge for Feyenoord Directorship

Dévy Rigaux, 38, has left his role as director of football at Club Brugge to join Feyenoord on a three‑year contract. The move comes after Club Brugge secured the Belgian league title.

Rigaux’s departure marks the end of his tenure at the Belgian club, where he oversaw football operations and contributed to recent successes. His leadership was a key factor in the club’s title‑winning campaign.

At Feyenoord, Rigaux will assume the position of director of football, tasked with shaping the Rotterdam side’s sporting strategy. He will work closely with the coaching staff to implement the club’s long‑term plan.

The three‑year deal signals Feyenoord’s intent to strengthen its management structure following a season of mixed results. The appointment is part of a broader effort to enhance the club’s competitiveness.

Rigaux explained that his decision was driven by a desire for new challenges and the opportunity to work in the Dutch Eredivisie. He cited the chance to influence a historic club as a major factor.

Club Brugge is expected to undergo internal reshuffling to fill the vacancy left by Rigaux’s exit. The club will look to promote or recruit a successor for the director role.

The transfer follows a period of organisational changes within Club Brugge, including adjustments to its scouting and recruitment departments. These shifts have created openings at senior levels.

Feyenoord’s appointment of Rigaux is seen as part of a broader effort to compete more aggressively in European competitions. His experience is expected to aid the club’s ambition on the continental stage.
