Fenerbahce interim boss Kuyt braced for Liverpool reunion
Former Reds forward Dirk Kuyt was handed the role as the Turkish giants' interim boss after Ismail Kartal quit the Super Lig side last week.
Dirk Kuyt, a former Liverpool forward, has been appointed as Fenerbahce's interim boss after Ismail Kartal resigned from the Turkish Super Lig side. Kuyt, who was in his role as assistant under Kartal, will face his old club in the Champions League on Wednesday. Despite his allegiance to Liverpool, Kuyt is determined to secure a victory for Fenerbahce, stating that he is there for the club and the fans.
The 46-year-old Dutchman previously managed ADO Den Haag, Beerschot, and Dordrecht before joining Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce has only won one of their last five games in all competitions, having suffered a 6-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Champions League. Kuyt urges the supporters to turn out in force, believing that if they show good energy and passion, it will be a special night for Fenerbahce.
