Dirk Kuyt's agent Rob Jansen has indicated that the Dutchman's caretaker spell at Fenerbahçe could last beyond the initial three-match period, according to multiple Turkish outlets.
Jansen confirmed that Kuyt will be in charge for at least three matches following the departure of İsmail Kartal. The club's primary plan is to appoint a permanent manager, but Jansen added that if Kuyt performs well, he could remain in post until the end of the season.
Kuyt was appointed caretaker technical director at Fenerbahçe after Kartal stepped down following the derby defeat to Galatasaray. The Dutchman had previously served as assistant coach at the Istanbul club.
Fenerbahçe currently have a squad valued at €249m according to FootVal's valuation, underlining the scale of the job facing whoever takes permanent charge.
