Former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt is set to make the next step in his managerial career and take charge of Dutch side ADO Den Haag, according to recent reports.
Daily newspaper AD claim the 41-year-old will be announced as the new manager of the Eerste Divisie side as early as Thursday. The club missed out on promotion to the top flight after a penalty shootout defeat to Excelsior on Sunday.
Their general manager Edwin Reijntjes confirmed earlier this week that discussions with Kuyt had taken place, as he told the media: "I do not deny that Dirk Kuyt has been spoken to. I can also say that there will be a press conference here this week in which the new coach will be presented."
