Erik ten Hag Declines Ajax Return

On Tuesday, Erik ten Hag made a definitive decision not to return to Ajax, as reported by the Algemeen Dagblad. The manager has declined the offer to succeed John Heitinga in Amsterdam.

Ten Hag engaged in multiple discussions with Alex Kroes, who plans to step down once a new technical director is appointed. However, Ten Hag expressed concerns about the lack of a solid foundation for a successful partnership, given the uncertainties surrounding various positions at Ajax, as noted by Sjoerd Mossou and Johan Inan for the AD.
