Ajax’s prospects of bringing back Erik ten Hag as the new head coach are diminishing. The club is currently in the process of identifying a successor to John Heitinga. According to an update from Algemeen Dagblad, the search at Johan Cruijff ArenA is ongoing. “The club is keeping all options open. The management has compiled a list of potential coaches who could temporarily or permanently take over from Heitinga. Naturally, Ten Hag’s name is at the top of that list. Although a return of the club’s former successful coach appears increasingly unlikely, it is not entirely ruled out.” The name Alex Pastoor is being mentioned frequently in this context, notably by Mario Been, who stated, “If you’re looking for someone with vision and clarity, I would recommend Alex Pastoor. He has a solid understanding of football and a clear vision, which he can articulate effectively. He certainly has a well-defined idea that he can present convincingly. I believe he could be a suitable coach, and in the short term, I would certainly consider trying him out. He is familiar with the league and knows the players.” Post navigation AFCA Supporters Association Advocates for Ajax to Exit Stock Market Criticism of Wout Weghorst’s Post-Match Remarks
