ROTTERDAM - An impressive home win over Bayern Munich, and the guarantee of progress in the Champions League, might not be enough to save Feyenoord coach Brian Priske's job, amid continuing speculation about his future due to their poor domestic form.
Striker Santiago Gimenez scored twice in the first half and his strike partner Ayase Ueda struck late on Jan 22 to steer the hosts to a 3-0 victory and put them in line for a top-eight finish.
They will secure automatic qualification for the last 16 if they win their final group match against Lille on Jan 29. However, domestic results have put Priske under pressure, with Feyenoord fourth in the Dutch Eredivisie, 10 points off the pace.
Asked about the possibility of being sacked, Priske turned the attention back to the Jan 22 win at De Kuip.
