Andries Jonker recently received support from Louis van Gaal in his pursuit of a coaching position at SL Benfica. However, the Portuguese club ultimately did not select the candidate proposed by Jonker, leaving the Amsterdam native without a job. It would not be surprising if Van Gaal attempts to advocate for Jonker at Ajax. Since leaving the KNVB, where he coached the Dutch women’s national team with limited success, Jonker has been seeking new opportunities. Johan Derksen noted on Vandaag Inside that Van Gaal tends to bring in only those he knows personally.
