Ajax’s Potential Rise Under Dick Schreuder: A New Era in Football

What if Ajax suddenly plays exceptional football next season? What if they impose their will on their opponents? Week after week, the spectators at the Johan Cruijff ArenA are treated to a feast of football? It’s a possibility.

‘Ajax recruits Dick Schreuder and is set to play remarkable football’

It is no longer a secret that Dick Schreuder is well-regarded in Amsterdam, and according to Freek Jansen, he has the potential to surprise all of the Netherlands. In the Pak Schaal Podcast, the co-editor of Voetbal International stated, “I would consider Dick Schreuder an excellent option. He is a remarkable coach. His football philosophy closely resembles that of Co Adriaanse. It promises to provide immense viewing pleasure, somewhat akin to what Peter Bosz offered when Ajax signed him.”

20 million for Schreuder?

Following the failed transfer of Kodai Sano to the ArenA, Hans Kraaij Jr. previously remarked in Voetbal International: “Sano would not only improve Ajax but would enhance almost any foreign top club. Club owner Marcel Boekhoorn is well aware of this. After the match, he told me that he wouldn’t answer the phone for any offer below twenty million euros. They should adopt the same approach regarding their coach.”

Schreuder makes the shortlist

Johan Inan from Algemeen Dagblad mentioned on FC Afkicken: “It is no secret that Marijn Beuker, Ajax’s director of football affairs, has been very fond of Dick Schreuder from NEC for quite some time. They had already approached him a year ago when Farioli was still in charge and sensed that a break could be imminent. However, Schreuder was uncertain about Francesco Farioli’s departure and chose to align himself with NEC instead.”
