Beenhakker will coach Feyenoord in playoffsROTTERDAM, Netherlands, May 5 (Reuters) - Poland coach Leo Beenhakker will take charge of Feyenoord on a short-term basis in the Dutch playoffs for a UEFA Cup spot.
'This is a 'duty call' I can't deny,' Beenhakker told the club's website on Saturday. 'I will do everything to ensure the club play in Europe next season.'
The 64-year-old Beenhakker replaces Erwin Koeman, who resigned this week after the team finished seventh in the league.
The four sides in sixth to ninth positions playoff for one UEFA Cup berth and Feyenoord start out with an away game at Groningen on Thursday.
It will be the Rotterdam-born Beenhakker's third spell at Feyenoord.
He was previously a youth coach and also guided the club to their last league title in 1999.
After quitting Feyenoord in 2000, Beenhakker became technical director of arch rivals Ajax Amsterdam and also led Trinidad and Tobago to the 2006 World Cup finals.
