René Feller (born 23 December 1942) is a Dutch retired football manager.

Managerial career

Feller worked as a pottery salesman before he was lured by a Kuwaiti refugee to become a football manager there. He then was recommended by the Eritrean ambassador in Kuwait[1] to become manager of the Eritrea national side[2] and then APR in Rwanda.[3] In April 2014 it was announced that he was part of an 8-man shortlist to replace Eric Nshimiyimana as Rwanda manager.[4] He later won the Ethiopian league with St George in 2014.[5]

Personal life

After retiring, Feller moved back to Holland to live in Zwaag and wrote a book about his adventures in African football.[6]
