Discontent in Ajax’s Locker Room Following Heitinga’s Dismissal

John Heitinga was dismissed from his position as head coach at Ajax on Thursday. He was held accountable for the team’s disappointing results and lackluster performance. However, journalist Henk Spaan suggests that the coach is not the sole issue plaguing Ajax, pointing to significant challenges within the player group.

Henk Spaan has identified considerable unrest in the Ajax locker room. He noted that this turmoil was starkly evident during the Champions League match against Galatasaray, particularly highlighting a free kick awarded to Ajax from a considerable distance. According to Spaan, this incident exemplifies the prevailing discontent within the Amsterdam club.
