Former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has been appointed head coach at Dutch second division club FC Dordrecht.
The appointment comes one week after Kuyt left his role at Beerschot, who were relegated from Belgium’s top flight one year after their promotion under Kuyt.
The 44-year-old, who scored 71 goals across six seasons at Liverpool between 2006 and 2012, has signed a one-year contract at Dordrecht.

“I am looking forward to a new adventure at FC Dordrecht with great pleasure,” Kuyt said in a statement issued by the club.
“I have seen that FC Dordrecht has become a stable club in recent years, a team that plays good and attacking football, but also develops many young talents. I’m looking forward to getting started as soon as possible.”
Kuyt previously spent six months in charge of ADO Den Haag in the Dutch second division in 2022.
During his playing career, Kuyt was known for his tenacity and adaptability, transitioning from striker to wing-back over the course of his career.
Kuyt’s playing career saw him score 322 goals including spells at FC Utrecht and Fenerbahce, while also having two stints at Feyenoord.
Having retired in 2017, he began work the following year as coach of Feyenoord under-19s.
