Ajax appoints John Heitinga as the new manager following Francesco Farioli's departure due to a faltering title race. Heitinga, a former player and last interim coach, returns after serving as an assistant in England. With coaching experience at clubs like Liverpool, he expresses excitement about impacting Ajax, who are looking to break their league drought since 2022. Featured comments from Heitinga and Ajax's technical director highlight his coaching drive and the expectations for success, underlining his familiarity with the club and ambitions ahead.
I am incredibly excited to start. The last years in England have done me a lot of good. I've been able to develop further alongside David Moyes and Arne Slot, while also getting a behind-the-scenes look at two major clubs.
John is a good coach with enormous drive. He is ambitious and has further developed himself over the past few years in the Premier League and the Champions League.
