Ajax’s Search for a New Coach: Andries Jonker as a Potential Successor

omidbasir- Ajax is actively searching for a new head coach after the dismissal of John Heitinga. A prominent candidate being considered is Andries Jonker, primarily due to his close relationship with influential advisor Louis van Gaal.

Johan Derksen discussed this possibility on Vandaag Inside, suggesting, “If Ajax seeks advice from Louis van Gaal, then Andries Jonker will become the new coach of Ajax.” However, Derksen expressed his reservations about Jonker’s capabilities, considering it a potential disaster for the club. He criticized Jonker, who most recently served as the national coach for the Dutch women’s team, stating, “The advice from Van Gaal could easily be disregarded.”
