“It is a painful decision,” says Kroes Ajax website. “But if you look at how the past few months have gone, we have to conclude that we had imagined things very differently in advance. We see too little development and we have unnecessarily lost points.”
“We know that it can take time if a new trainer starts working with a selection that has also undergone changes. We have also given John that time, but we think it is best for the club to put someone else in front of the group. We would like to jointly present a new head coach quickly.”
Frizz gone too?
At the same time, Kroes has also made his position available immediately. However, the Supervisory Board has asked him to stay on for the foreseeable future to ensure continuity. “My contract expires at the end of the season, if the club appoints a technical director sooner, I will transfer my work at that time.”
Ajax lost 3-0 to Galatasaray in the Champions League yesterday. As a result, the Amsterdam team is scoreless at the bottom. The results in the competition are also disappointing. The gap to leaders Feyenoord and PSV has already increased to no less than eight points.
