ROTTERDAM (Reuters) - Feyenoord's victory in the Dutch Cup must herald a renaissance for the former European champions, captain Dirk Kuyt said in the wake of the 2-1 victory over Utrecht in Sunday's final.

"This must now become a prize that starts a new phase for the club in which more trophies are won. I have won five trophies in five successive years," added the 35-year-old, who had cup success at Liverpool and Fenerbahce before rejoining the Rotterdam club at the start of the season.
