Jordi Cruijff’s Bold Moves at Ajax: A New Era Begins

omidbasir- Jordi Cruijff is taking decisive action at Ajax. He began his tenure on February 1st in Amsterdam and immediately dismissed Willem Weijs, the head coach of Jong Ajax. This move raises questions about what lies ahead for the club.

In a detailed analysis, Het Parool expresses surprise at these developments, noting the unusual nature of Cruijff’s bold decisions amid a historically stagnant management culture at Ajax. Over recent years, the club has faced persistent confusion regarding decision-making authority. Cruijff’s predecessor, Alex Kroes, ultimately grew disillusioned with the bureaucratic hurdles, where he found himself needing to solicit signatures from fellow directors with greater financial clout. Additionally, he faced prolonged waits for consensus between the supervisory board and the executive board, both of which have significant influence over the club’s operations.
