After a shocking 4-3 UEFA Europa League loss away at FCSB, Feyenoord lost the Klassieker derby 2-0 to Ajax and were eliminated from the Dutch KNVB Beker following a 3-2 home defeat to sc Heerenveen, Van Persie's former employers.
The losing streak saw Feyenoord's form further deteriorate - the Rotterdam giants have now won just three of their last 11 games across all competitions.
During Friday's press conference ahead of this weekend's final Eredivisie round of the calendar year, manager Robin van Persie defended his position as pressure rises.
"I feel at home here. I feel comfortable. In good times, but also when things are not going so well. I feel that I am the right person for this job," said the former Arsenal and Manchester United striker.
'We are where we should be'
Van Persie joined Feyenoord in January 2025 after Danish manager Brian Priske was fired following a run of disappointing results. Compared to the same point in time last season, however, Van Persie's side have one point less in the Eredivisie than Priske's team, while also having seven fewer points in Europe. Where Priske also made last season's KNVB Beker quarterfinals, Van Persie was eliminated in the second round.
Van Persie, who aimed for the league title ahead of the current season, said his team aren't underperforming, however.
"We are in second place," he said. "I have been very open about our ambitions. We really want to win the league. We are now five points ahead of the number three, which is a realistic position when you look at the squads.
"So if you ask me, is our ambition to finish second? No, we want to be champions. But we are where we should be."
Van Persie had a heated conversation with Feyenoord fans following Wednesday's loss. The 42-year-old revealed what he told them after their eighth loss in 11 games.
"I emphasised once again that the players really worked extremely hard. Everyone can see that, but losing so late on affects perceptions."
Feyenoord play their final game of 2025 on Sunday, December 21st, against FC Twente.
