Liverpool cult hero Dirk Kuyt is reportedly set to take his first venture into management with Dutch outfit ADO Den Haag.

The former forward retired from football in 2017 with Feyenoord - only making a brief return to the game with amateur outfit Quick Boys a year later - and for a time also coached the Feyenoord under-19 side. He left that role over a year ago, citing the opportunity to build on his managerial experience as a factor in his departure.

However, he now appears to be closing in on a return with reports in the Netherlands stating that the 41-year-old is now set for his first coaching role. According to AD, he will be announced as the new manager of Eredivisie outfit ADO Den Hag, with a formal presentation organised for Thursday.

The club’s general manager Edwin Reijntjes has confirmed that talks have already taken place with the former Red. He said: “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."

Kuyt is set to take over a side stuck in the second-tier of Dutch football. They suffered relegation to the Eerste Divisie at the end of the 2020/21
