Kuyt will be coaching former Nigeria U20 international Ibrahim Alhassan at Beerschot.
The 27-year-old plays as a defensive midfielder and central defender these days and has been on the books of Beerschot since July 2022 when he joined from Nacional in Portugal.
This season, Alhassan has appeared in seventeen matches, in all competitions, ten of which he started.
After 16 matches in the Belgian second tier, Beerschot are topping the table with 32 points.
