Dirk Kuyt led Fenerbahce to a Champions League victory over Liverpool, the club where he spent part of his playing career, De Telegraaf reports. The result came in what Dutch outlets describe as his last match in charge as Fenerbahce's interim coach.
The Dutchman was working as an interim appointment at the Turkish side rather than in a permanent role. According to De Telegraaf, the win over Liverpool counts as a notable upset given the opposition and the circumstances.
Dutch coverage framed the match around Kuyt's history with Liverpool, where he previously played. NU described the fixture as a meeting with his "old love," and AD.nl reported that the interim trainer helped Fenerbahce to the win over his former club. Voetbal International likewise cast the result as Kuyt inflicting pain on his old side.
