Ajax made headlines this week by dismissing John Heitinga from his role as head coach. Additionally, Alex Kroes has offered his resignation as technical director. Sources from Antwerp have informed SoccerNews that there is serious consideration in Amsterdam to reappoint a familiar face as a successor. The club is contemplating the return of Marc Overmars as technical director. The situation at Ajax has become turbulent. Following a busy transfer summer that saw several key players depart from the Johan Cruijff ArenA, the mix of experience and emerging talent was expected to impress. However, the performance under coach John Heitinga and assistant Marcel Keizer was deemed insufficient by the club’s leadership. The deliberation regarding Overmars’s return is reportedly independent of Erik ten Hag’s appeal. The former Ajax manager has been without a club since a brief stint at Bayer Leverkusen. Notably, during his tenure with Royal Antwerp, he enjoyed significant success, including a remarkable run to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
