The timing is perfect. Get Peter Hyballa while he’s available.
Let the shitshow continue!
Why? Ajax have games in hand so might survive relegation, should’ve been given time.
To the surprise of absolutely no-one.
I thought they would keep him untill after the PSV game tbh.
New account?
The adventure of Maurice Steijn (49) at Ajax has been limited to four hectic months in good consultation. The trainer, who dropped to seventeenth place in the Eredivisie due to the defeat at FC Utrecht (4-3) with Ajax, is held responsible for the dramatic performance of the Amsterdam club.
Despite the worst competition start in the club’s history, the native of The Hague gained confidence for a long time, because he was saddled with a selection that was worthless by Ajax standards by the tar and feathered director of football affairs, Sven Mislintat. Yet Steijn and Ajax agreed that it was better for both parties to part ways.
Even with the mediocre and weak players that Mislintat attracted, the former coach of VVV-Venlo, NAC Breda and Sparta should have performed better. But he failed to get his players to agree with his way of playing. There was a lot of criticism about his line-ups, Ajax’s play and the training sessions. The defeat at FC Utrecht was also the well-known last straw for Jan van Halst and Louis van Gaal, who openly supported him last week, but now, like Steijn, see no other option to terminate the trainer’s contract.
End of an enormous error.
The bigger picture is even more an enormous error.
vindication for the two of us, just two months too late
Currently watching back last night’s studio voetbal laughing at the whole bizarre discussion about how he somehow isn’t to blame. So happy to see this news pop up while watching that.
Clicked the link and just saw I was one of the few people that upvoted you. Glad to see him gone!
It was so painfully obvious. It’s a shame that we’re right, it would’ve been better had Steijn been a success.
Didn’t fans, back then, say that if you turned out to be right later, it had to be just a lucky guess.
It felt like on reddit, people desperately wanted to be the ‘‘sensible’’ type of fans, so they refused to judge Steijn, cause his job wasn’t easy.It didn’t take long till every support for Steijn just ended up being a fallacy. ‘‘Fans expect Ajax to play like prime-Barcelona after the coach’s first week!’’, ‘‘They’re are so many new players and you expect them to play like they did in the 70s?’’, ‘‘So you think this is all 100% Steijn’s fault?’’
I think, in the end, Steijn’s supporters were thinking more in black-and-white than the fans they accused of doing that.
Shocked it took so long
Steijn was a disaster, but it’s not just the manager that’s the problem. Selling all your best players year after year eventually catches up to you when the next crop coming through aren’t as good.
Took 'm fucking long enough.
So this is christmas
Finally… only 4 weeks to late. Now who will take over?
Hedwiges Maduro is now taking over, but you can’t keep appointing temporary coaches.
I think the Manchester United manager could be a great fit and might be available soon
Glasner
Big Sam?
Robert maaskant would be my pick.
I’d be interested in how Ole would do
Interim LvG while they decide?
Graham Potter, Hansi Flick, Julian Lopetegui.
There are some decent managers available at the moment.
Potter would cook with them next year, if he keeps them up… But he’s awaiting a Prem job surely
Where would potter go in the premiere league realistically that is over Ajax?
Seems like most first half teams have their manager more or less sorted for the next season.
He is heavily linked with United and Napoli recently
These kind of names are always rumoured but they never come. In the end they prefer waiting for a PL job.
De Boer it is!
Laurent Blanc is about to cook lmao
Domenech: am I a joke to you?
Wonder who will take over for now and who will take over in the long run
Wonder who’s next. Vos maybe?
Honestly don’t think that Dave Vos would be a bad appointment, but I really hope that the board gets rid of the ridiculous Dutch only requirement.
EuropeanLad is the happiest person on earth now
That guy was really going through it lately
Crying and thanking the lord
