Dirk Kuyt has taken his second job as head coach in professional football. The Latest News announced on Thursday morning with the news that the former player of FC Utrecht, Feyenoord and the Dutch national team, among others, will start working at Beerschot and this has now been confirmed by his agent agency Wasserman. Kuyt is the successor to Andreas Wieland at the club from Antwerp, active in the Challenger Pro League.
Beerschot finished in last place in the Jupiler Pro League in the 2021/22 season and has now been playing at the second level for two seasons. The team from Antwerp is committed to taking the step to the highest level next year and is well on its way. Beerschot is currently shared first in the Challenger Pro League. It has the same number of points as Zulte-Waregem and the goal difference is also balanced. So Kuyt knows what he has to do: take control of Zulte-Waregem and promote to the highest division.

This would give the former Dutch international’s coaching career some color again. Kuyt ended his active career as a player in 2017, after he had played an important role in the first national title since 1999 at Feyenoord. He started his coaching career with the amateurs of Quick Boys, before going to work for Feyenoord’s Under-19 team. Kuyt got his first job as head coach at ADO Den Haag in the summer of 2022. The residents of The Hague had recently bizarrely missed out on promotion to the Eredivisie. Kuyt had to guide ADO to the highest level, but the marriage with the club from The Hague was not a success.
The basic customer at the Dutch team during the successful 2010 World Cup in South Africa had to leave after a few months due to disappointing results. More than a year later, he is faced with his second job as head coach in professional football. Beerschot suddenly said goodbye to Wieland last week. The Austrian himself asked to terminate his contract. According to The last news Wieland may start working at LASK Linz in his home country.
