ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) - Robin van Persie made a disappointing debut as coach of Feyenoord as they were held to a goalless draw at home by NEC Nijmegen in the Eredivisie on Saturday.

Van Persie was named last weekend as new coach of Feyenoord after last month’s sacking of the Dane Brian Priske.
