Joseph Oosting Linked With Ajax Job After Heitinga’s Dismissal Two months ago, on September 4, 2025, Joseph Oosting was dismissed as head coach of FC Twente. He became the first managerial casualty of the season. Shortly after, Bas Sibum of Heracles and John Heitinga of Ajax were also let go. Now, with Heitinga out at Ajax, Oosting’s name has resurfaced as a possible replacement. Frits Barend Supports Oosting for the Ajax Role Journalist Frits Barend believes Ajax should strongly consider Oosting. Speaking on Nieuws van de Dag, he said: “Ajax made a major mistake letting Heitinga go. He was excellent as an assistant to Arne Slot at Liverpool. He should have stayed with Slot for another year or two, and then taken a gradual step to a club like PEC Zwolle to develop. It was clear early on that this situation would not end well.” According to Barend, Ajax must now rethink its direction. Oosting, who is currently available, may be seen as a realistic and pragmatic choice.
