Dirk Kuyt could be in charge of Fenerbahce against Liverpool

Fenerbahce parted ways with Ismail Kartal following the Galatasaray derby. Dirk Kuyt will temporarily take charge of the team. If the club management does not agree with any head coach, the Dutch coach could also lead the team in the UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool.

This fixture holds a special meaning for Kuyt. One of Liverpool's memorable names, Kuyt transferred to the English club from Feyenoord in 2006 for a fee of 18 million euros. In 285 appearances in the red shirt, the player scored 71 goals and provided 40 assists, becoming a favorite of the fans. He also won the English League Cup with Liverpool.

Kuyt joined Fenerbahce in the summer of 2012 for 1 million euros. He wore the yellow and navy shirt for three seasons, scoring 37 goals and providing 28 assists in 130 matches. During this period, he won one Super Lig title, one Turkish Cup and one Turkish Super Cup. In 2013, he played an important role in the team reaching the semi-final of the UEFA Europa League.

Fenerbahce will host Goztepe in Week 10 of the Trendyol Super Lig. Whether the former Dutch player will be in charge of the yellow and navy team against Liverpool, however, depends on the club's decision on a head coach.
