He defeated Liverpool, then the Fenerbahce coach stepped down

Dirk Kuyt temporarily took over as coach of Fenerbahçe after Ismail Kartal's resignation. His first match was a Champions League victory against Liverpool, which Fenerbahçe won 3-2. However, after a subsequent 5-0 win against Corum, Kuyt decided to leave the club, leading to the termination of his contract. Fenerbahçe expressed gratitude for his contributions and emphasized the lasting bond with him. Kuyt's agent mentioned that although he was initially appointed for three matches, he only managed two before departing.
