Theo van Duivenbode Advises Jordi Cruijff to Avoid Ajax

Theo van Duivenbode has advised Jordi Cruijff not to pursue an opportunity with Ajax, suggesting there is little to gain from such a move. In contrast, there is more enthusiasm for Cruijff in Spain, where he previously worked with FC Barcelona.

Currently, Ajax and Cruijff are in discussions regarding a potential collaboration. Van Duivenbode highlights the emotional factors at play, stating, “He has already expressed his gratitude once. While he is not his father, the emotional connection is significant.” The former player and Ajax commissioner spoke with NOS, asserting, “If he does take the position, it could be exciting. However, given the current state of Ajax’s roster, it will be challenging for any coach. If I were to offer him advice, I would suggest he take a moment to reflect carefully before making a decision.”
