Least surprising news story I’ve read today

[–] JSI13@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Finally… only 4 weeks to late. Now who will take over?

[–] Mr_Miscellaneous@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Graham Potter, Hansi Flick, Julian Lopetegui.

There are some decent managers available at the moment.

[–] BrigadierBrabant@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

De Boer it is!

[–] Oppxdan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Potter would cook with them next year, if he keeps them up... But he's awaiting a Prem job surely

[–] fancczf@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NotAsimppp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is heavily linked with United and Napoli recently

I think the Manchester United manager could be a great fit and might be available soon

[–] AlmostNL@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hedwiges Maduro is now taking over, but you can't keep appointing temporary coaches.

[–] aiicaramba@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Robert maaskant would be my pick.

[–] Magnetic_Bull@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'd be interested in how Ole would do

[–] droze22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Interim LvG while they decide?

[–] VonTravelhood@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Crying and thanking the lord

[–] DaveShadow@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shocked it took so long

[–] BarbaricGamers@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wonder who's next. Vos maybe?

[–] Sunstridr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Pow67@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why? Ajax have games in hand so might survive relegation, should’ve been given time.

[–] x_Avacyn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To the surprise of absolutely no-one.

[–] BarbaricGamers@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought they would keep him untill after the PSV game tbh.

[–] Jamey_1999@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

New account?

[–] leeuwerik@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The bigger picture is even more an enormous error.

[–] non-relevant@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] rikaay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Clicked the link and just saw I was one of the few people that upvoted you. Glad to see him gone!

[–] Martyrizing@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was so painfully obvious. It’s a shame that we’re right, it would’ve been better had Steijn been a success.

[–] Godverrdomme@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Took 'm fucking long enough.

So this is christmas

[–] Staralyze@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Fireclap@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wonder who will take over for now and who will take over in the long run

[–] BoomBoomLinssen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] granitibaniti@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wtf is this allowed?

[–] BananaSoprano@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Let's see if a different coach can make something out of this player group. This season is wasted anyway, so Ajax should just focus on rebuilding. Just try to finish top 12 and go for Europe again next season with a complete rebuild.

[–] KansloosKippenhok@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for yesterday mate 👏🏾👏🏾

[–] 9rakka@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Okay good news…. But now what? Feel like there arent any replacements available atm

[–] FloppedYaYa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Another one bites the dust

[–] searching129@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The timing is perfect. Get Peter Hyballa while he's available.

[–] LordofLitter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Let the shitshow continue!

[–] mattijn13@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just fell down to my knees in a Hema crying tears of joy

[–] VoxelRiot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You just had an international break. If things were this bad, why not fire him BEFORE the break and let the coach prepare everything during the international break.
