"Amazing, no words for it," said Mparaganda. "It says a lot that Feyenoord gives me their full trust."
Feyenoord are one of the most decorated clubs in Dutch football history. The club has won 16 Dutch league titles and 14 KNVB Cups, in addition to major European honours that include two UEFA Cups, one European Cup, and one Intercontinental Cup.
