Ajax recently parted ways with head coach John Heitinga and Alex Kroes has stepped down from his position as technical director. Sources from Antwerp have indicated to SoccerNews that there is serious consideration in Amsterdam regarding the return of a familiar face as a successor. The club is contemplating the reappointment of Marc Overmars as technical director. The situation in Amsterdam is tumultuous. After a hectic transfer summer, during which several key players left the Johan Cruijff Arena, the anticipated blend of experience and talent has not performed as expected. Under the leadership of Heitinga and assistant Marcel Keizer, the club’s management feels that insufficient progress has been made. It is noteworthy that the consideration of Overmars’ return is separate from the allure surrounding Erik ten Hag. The former Ajax coach has been without a club since his brief stint at Bayer Leverkusen. During his tenure with the current sporting director at Royal Antwerp, the Dutch coach achieved significant success, including a memorable semi-final appearance in the prestigious UEFA Champions League.
