Last Wednesday, Liverpool travelled to Turkey to face Fenerbahce. Here they were greeted by a smiling, interim head coach, Dirk Kuyt. Two games later, Kuyt says goodbye.
Kuyt played for Fenerbahce between 2012 and 2015, and was promoted as interim head coach before the Liverpool game. In the summer, the Dutchman returned to the club as an assistant coach to Ismail Kartal. Kartal was fired after a loss to Galatasary, now it was Kuyt who was to steer the ship. For Liverpool supporters, this was not a “good” reunion.

Kuyt led the Süper Lig club to a 3-2 victory, a great achievement by the Dutchman. Nevertheless, today comes the news from Fenerbahce that the Dutchman is retiring after four months.
The explanation is said to be that the club has hired Emre Belözoglu as the new head coach, followed by a complete restructuring of the technical support staff.
