Maurice Steijn’s future at Ajax hangs in the balance. According to Freek Jansen, Ajax club watcher on behalf of Football International, now is the right time to fire De Hagenees. This is what the journalist argues, who interviewed Steven Berghuis in front of the cameras ESPN saw another contribution in the pocket, in the Grab Scale Podcast.
“I think this is the time to say goodbye to Steijn,” says Jansen. “I think the situation is irreversible. He is not going to turn it around anymore. He is not the trainer who will save Ajax’s situation. I have known Steijn for a long time. I have always said that time would tell or Steijn, who Sparta, ADO and VVV have done well, would be a good trainer for Ajax. We didn’t know that, but we do know that at the moment. There is no growth whatsoever in Ajax’s game. It is such a mess that is too big for Maurice Steijn. The way I saw Berghuis talking in front of the camera, that’s killing, that’s it,” the club watcher concludes.
Berghuis was recovered immediately after the lost Classic on Wednesday ESPN asked by Hans Kraay junior what he thinks of his trainer Steijn. “I think that’s a difficult question, Hans, that’s not up to me either,” responded the creative person. “What should I say to that? It is up to other people to judge that. How do I experience him on the training field? Fine, we try to implement what he and the staff tell us and we try to implement that plan as best as possible, but we are still having a hard time with that.”
Dusan Tadic
Jansen also has regular contact with Dusan Tadic, as he states in the podcast. “He is still following it all. It is very dear to his heart and I have spoken to more former Ajax players in recent days. They seem to come from every nook and cranny. It hurts Tadic very much what is happening now. the hand and also how he left Ajax, of course,” says Jansen, who indicates that Tadic had a very difficult last season with the Amsterdam team. “Everyone criticized him for his performance on the field, but when you see how important he was in the dressing room and on the training field…” Jansen praises the crucial role of the Serbian.
