Former Liverpool Forward Dirk Kuyt Appointed FC Dordrecht Head Coach

Dirk Kuyt, the former Liverpool forward, has been appointed head coach of Dutch second-division club FC Dordrecht on a one-season contract after being released by Belgian side Beerschot following their relegation. Kuyt’s managerial career has been mixed, including a brief stint at ADO Den Haag and leading Beerschot to promotion before their subsequent relegation. Despite speculation about a return to Liverpool as an assistant manager, the role went to Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Kuyt's former Netherlands teammate. Kuyt expressed enthusiasm for joining Dordrecht, praising the club's stability, attacking style, and youth development. He is set to take charge immediately as Dordrecht aims to become promotion contenders in the upcoming season. Kuyt’s playing career was marked by versatility and tenacity, with significant spells at Liverpool, Feyenoord, and Fenerbahce.
