Feyenoord have appointed former player Pascal Bosschaart as interim coach ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with AC Milan.

Bosschaart has replaced Brian Priske, who was sacked on Monday.

Feyenoord cited inconsistent results and a lack of chemistry as the main reasons for Priske's dismissal,

They sit fifth in the Eredivisie, 12 points behind leaders Ajax.

Bosschart, 44, spent two seasons as a player at Feyenoord between 2004-2006 and has been in charge of the club's under-21s side after assistant coach spells with SC Cambuur and FC Dordrecht.

"We are pleased that Pascal has immediately shown his willingness to step in temporarily," Dennis te Kloese, technical director of Feyenoord, said in a statement.

"In the meantime, I have been able to speak to many players, staff members and other people closely involved and everyone realises that we still have a lot to fight for."
