Dirk Kuyt left Fenerbahce on Wednesday, one week after guiding the team as interim coach to a 3-2 Champions League win over his old club Liverpool in Istanbul.

Kuyt, a former Netherlands forward, took charge of that match despite the club already having made a deal with Emre Belözoğlu to take over as coach.

Kuyt returned to Fenerbahce in July, where he played from 2012-15, to assist coach Ismail Kartal, who resigned last month.
