The whole England watched Manchester United and Arsenal fighting for titles during the end of the 20th and the start of the 21st century. And even thou the second decade of 21st century already saw the rise of Chelesa and Manchester City, these two clubs had a bitter rivalry going on. The bad relationship between coaches Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t help either. And when you are a successful player who makes a career at Arsenal and even extend your contract by saying “My heart is with Arsenal and I just can’t picture myself in a different shirt“ and then move to Manchester United just three years later, you cannot expect any mercy from the Gunners. Robin van Persie is clever enough to know that, at he is at piece with his future coaching career.Evra reveals Van Persie’s shock by the difference in work ethic between Arsenal and Man UtdFormer Feryenoord, Arsenal, Manchester United and Fenerbache striker decided to stay in football after he retired from playing and has been appointed head coach of the Dutch top-flight team Heerenveen. The Oranje’s record goalscorer has signed a two-year deal and is currently in 12th place in Holland’s Eredivisie. Speaking about his future career as the manager, he confessed he doesn’t see him being at the helm of one of his former clubs.”Well, I don’t expect to work at Arsenal. I think that door is closed. Because of my transfer to Manchester United, that’s my guess. You never know in football, but that’s my guess. It’s still a sensitive issue for them, not for me. It’s especially sensitive for the Arsenal fans” he said to Sportcast.’If we don’t win the league, it’s because of these two a**holes’Van Persie came to Arsenal in 2004 for only three million euros and stayed for eight years. He scored 96 goals in 194 appearances for the Gunners and he could have scored even more, if he didn’t have problems with injuries. He left the Emirates after eight years with only one FA Cup to show for (won in his first season), and moved to Manchester United, where he won the Premier League only once in his three years stay, the last one under Sir Alex Ferguson’s tenure. Now, he is the coach who doesn’t want to look too far ahead.”I’ve learned that planning so far ahead doesn’t make any sense. I don’t want to either. I mainly live in the here and now. I really like it here and I’m incredibly proud to be the coach of SC Heerenveen. I feel very welcome within the club and with the fans. I think that’s important too, that you feel welcome,” said Van Persie.##NAJAVA_MECA_8502045##
