Winston Bogarde would no longer be wanted at Ajax. That writing The Telegraph and Football International† The former defender still has a contract until 2023, but according to both magazines, trainer Alfred Schreuder does not want him on his technical staff.
As a player, Bogarde experienced golden years in the Ajax of coach Louis van Gaal between 1994 and 1997. He returned in 2017. First he was assistant to the promises for three years, since 2020 he fulfilled the same role at Ajax 1.
Schreuder’s staff
Now that Erik ten Hag has left for Manchester United, Ajax has a new trainer with Alfred Schreuder. Schreuder, who was also an assistant in 2018 and 2019, wants to fill in his technical staff differently. Michael Reiziger, also an assistant, should be allowed to stay on. Because Schreuder wants to downsize the staff, no replacement is being sought for former assistant Michael van der Gaag, who is also leaving for United.
De Telegraaf writes that Bogarde has now been told by general director Edwin van der Sar and financial director Susan Lenderik that there is no longer a place for him at Ajax. Schreuder would like to replace Bogarde with 37-year-old Matthias Kaltenbach, whom he remembers from his time at the German 1899 Hoffenheim.
