Kenneth Taylor Responds to Ajax’s Coaching Change After Defeat to FC Utrecht

John Heitinga was dismissed earlier in the week, and Fred Grim has taken over as Ajax’s interim manager. Following the club’s 2-1 defeat to FC Utrecht, Kenneth Taylor commented on the situation and the team’s preparation under Grim.

Taylor explained the squad’s mindset, saying, “In the end, we have to work together. We approached this game as one unit. We created a new plan and tried to execute it as well as possible.”

The 3-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Europa League was considered a turning point for Heitinga. That loss led the club’s leadership to make a coaching change and place their confidence in Grim to stabilize the team moving forward.
