Oscar García Begins Tenure as Jong Ajax Coach Amidst Early Challenges

omidbasir- Oscar García officially started his new position as head coach of Jong Ajax on Monday evening. The Spanish coach has been appointed by technical director Jordi Cruijff, but this may come at the expense of one of the existing squad players.

García’s tenure began amidst a challenging moment for Ajax. Last week, Cruijff caused a stir by replacing Willem Weijs with García. In remarks to media outlets like Voetbal International, the Ajax director stated, “You might think that Jong Ajax belongs to the youth academy, but players here are at an age where they should be making their debut for Ajax 1. The first team requires a winning mentality, as that is how titles are won.”

However, on Monday evening, SC Cambuur took the lead at De Toekomst. With the score at 0-1, Don-Angelo Konadu had a golden opportunity to equalize with a penalty but failed to convert. A frustrated Ajax supporter commented on social media platform X, “Another player who messes up a penalty with a strange hop. If I were that Spaniard, I would have substituted him immediately.”
