Jordi Cruijff’s Busy Schedule at Ajax: Focus on Transfers and Technical Revitalization

Jordi Cruijff is set to have a demanding schedule at Ajax as he navigates several necessary transfers, although Alex Kroes is currently handling this aspect. Behind the scenes, there is a considerable amount of work that needs to be accomplished.

Recently, De Telegraaf reported that within the entire technical organization, there is a desire to create more opportunities for former footballers, inspired by the legacy of Johan Cruyff. This would ideally combine their expertise with the knowledge of professionals from other fields. Such changes could potentially pave the way for the return of notable figures such as Wim Jonk, Dennis Bergkamp, Richard Witschge, Jan Wouters, Gerald Vanenburg, John van ‘t Schip, and Simon Tahamata, all of whom have left the club disillusioned in recent years. Additionally, there is room for prominent former players like Wesley Sneijder, Patrick Kluivert, Marco van Basten, Siem de Jong, Ricardo van Rhijn, and Daniël de Ridder, among others. The last three have been involved with the club for over two and a half years, demonstrating the significant value that former elite athletes can bring when paired with business-savvy professionals.
