Fenerbahçe have said goodbye to Dirk Kuijt, who served as an assistant coach and briefly as interim manager before the club appointed Emre Belözoğlu as head coach last week.
Kuijt, 46, had been part of the Istanbul club’s coaching staff this season. He took charge for two matches after İsmail Kartal left at the end of October. Fenerbahçe lost to Göztepe in the league under Kuijt, then beat his former club Liverpool in the Champions League last week. Belözoğlu’s appointment had already been announced by the time of that win.
“Today we say goodbye to you, but your place in this great family will never change,” Fenerbahçe said in a statement on its website, recalling Kuijt’s long-standing connection with the club.
Kuijt has previously managed ADO Den Haag, Beerschot and FC Dordrecht.
