Emre was appointed the new Fenerbahce manager on Tuesday, one day before Kuyt took charge of the team in the UEFA Champions League clash against Liverpool. Fenerbahce won 3-2 after late goals from Archie Brown and Vedat Muriqi.
Kuyt was appointed interim manager after Ismail Kartal stepped down on October 27th, one day after the derby defeat to Galatasaray. It wasn't known whether Kuyt would remain with the club after Emre's appointment, but the club confirmed on Wednesday that the Dutchman had left the club and would not stay in a different role.
"Our yellow-and-navy story began years ago, and the bond between us has never broken. You were with us on the pitch first, then in the dugout. Your love for the striped shirt and your loyalty earned you a special place in all our hearts," the club said.
"We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have given to these colours. Today we say goodbye to you, but your place in this big family will never change. Because some goodbyes are not farewells, but expressions of an eternal bond."
Kuyt, 46, previously worked at ADO Den Haag, Beerschot, and FC Dordrecht, whom he left to join Fenerbahce as Kartal's assistant manager this summer.
