Ajax Continues Search for New Head Coach After Heitinga’s Departure

Ajax is still in search of a new head coach following the dismissal of John Heitinga. Reports from Germany indicate that Paul Simonis is among the candidates being considered in Amsterdam. Recently, Simonis was let go by VfL Wolfsburg after a challenging tenure. Sports commentator Sjoerd Mossou has advised Simonis to think carefully about this potential opportunity.

Shortly after Heitinga’s departure, Simonis was also placed on leave in Germany. The coach had achieved remarkable success last season with Go Ahead Eagles but struggled to replicate that performance at VfL Wolfsburg. Mossou anticipates that Simonis is a viable option for Ajax’s head coach position, stating, “I do expect he is a candidate because there are not many choices available,” in the AD Voetbalpodcast.
