Dirk Kuyt, the current interim-trainer in Istanbul, needs a 'stunt' to increase his chances of becoming the head coach of Fenerbahçe, De Telegraaf claims. Kuyt is set to lead his team against Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, a match that could have significant implications for his future at the club.
Kuyt took over as interim-trainer in late October, following Ismail Kartal's departure after a defeat to arch-rivals Galatasaray. Fenerbahçe will face Liverpool, a club where Kuyt played for many years, in the Champions League on Wednesday. The Fenerbahçe selection prefers a foreigner as the head coach, with Kuyt still in the running in the eyes of the players.
Fenerbahçe lost to Göztepe with a score of 1-2, and the difference with league leader Galatasaray is now nine points. Kuyt's team will face a tough challenge against Liverpool, but a win could boost his chances of becoming the head coach.
