Dirk Kuyt To Take Charge Of Fenerbahce Until New Coach Appointed
ISTANBUL, Oct 28 (NNN-Anadolu) -- Fenerbahce announced Wednesday that assistant coach Dirk Kuyt will take charge of its first team until a new head coach is appointed following the resignation of Ismail Kartal, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
“Following the resignation of Ismail Kartal, our club has appointed Dirk Kuyt as the technical director of our football first team until our new head coach is determined,” the Istanbul club said in a statement.
Kuyt, 46, is a familiar figure at Fenerbahce, having played for the club between 2012 and 2015.
Fenerbahce had announced on June 3, 2012 that the Dutch forward had signed a three-year contract. The club paid €1 million for the transfer from Liverpool.
