Wesley Sneijder Discusses Ajax’s New Technical Director Jordi Cruijff

omidbasir- Wesley Sneijder recently engaged in a conversation with former FC Barcelona players Xavi Hernández and Carles Puyol regarding Ajax’s new technical director, Jordi Cruijff. This discussion took place on the program Rondo aired on Ziggo Sport.

Sneijder noted, “Their enthusiasm for him is a very positive sign.”

Youri Mulder initiated the conversation by pointing out that Cruijff has taken swift and decisive action since his appointment. He remarked, “It resonates with what his father always emphasized: it’s about how the game is played and ensuring that spectators leave feeling satisfied. I believe he is indeed on the right path, focusing on development and integrating youth players. The club’s DNA will always include wingers… However, his father often employed a defensive strategy with his wingers. At Ajax, he once positioned Jan Wouters in a similar manner, and at Feyenoord, Stanley Brard.”

When asked directly about a potential collaboration with Xavi, Cruijff provided a measured response: “Now I will share my favorite answer. I have a principle of never discussing individual names in the press, as it creates unnecessary speculation. I don’t see how discussing Xavi would benefit Ajax, so I will seldom engage in such discussions. That’s just how it is. I understand the question, but this is my stance.”
