Critique of Maurits Hendriks’ Interview on Ajax

Mike Verweij has expressed his surprise at the recent interview conducted with Maurits Hendriks, the former Chief Sports Officer of Ajax, featured in Trouw. The journalist from De Telegraaf asserts that Hendriks paints a one-sided picture of the situation in Amsterdam during his time with the club, indicating that the former executive did not conduct himself appropriately.

Verweij is critical of Hendriks’ portrayal of events. In the extensive interview with Trouw, Hendriks reflected on his tenure at Ajax and commented on the current policies of the club. He lamented that, in his view, the organization is primarily focused on past successes rather than looking forward to future opportunities.
