Trainer Ten Hag still misses Overmars every day at Ajax

Trainer Erik ten Hag still misses the departed director of football affairs Marc Overmars every day. He said that after Ajax’s narrow victory over Willem II (0-1).

“I do miss him,” Ten Hag confessed at the press conference after the game. “As a person I miss him every day. But also functionally. Anyway, we have to deal with that. We still text and call. You cannot cut a bond like that. He is involved. He is the director of this team. ”

According to Ten Hag, Ajax is able to absorb the lack of Overmars in the short term. “We have known for a long time in which direction we want to go with all the players,” said the coach. “We have determined that together. The things that have been set in motion will be followed up.”

Overmars left Ajax two weeks ago after it became known that he had been guilty of transgressive behavior towards female colleagues at the workplace of the club from Amsterdam for a longer period of time.
