Ajax’s Coaching Changes: The Search for a New Trainer

Ajax Amsterdam and Francesco Farioli have mutually decided to end their partnership after just one season. In the process of seeking an appropriate successor, the club reportedly did not have a comprehensive profile description, as noted by Voetbal International. Ultimately, technical director Alex Kroes appointed John Heitinga, who has since been dismissed.

The collaboration between Farioli and Ajax lasted only a single season. Meanwhile, Heitinga’s tenure was short-lived as he was also let go, while Farioli is currently experiencing success at FC Porto. According to VI, Ajax expressed a strong desire to appoint a Dutch coach with ‘Ajax DNA’ to succeed Farioli. It was reported that no detailed profile would be created, aside from the club’s aim to adopt a more offensive style of play, incorporating more youth from their academy.
