Johan Derksen believes that Ajax should fire director of football affairs Sven Mislintat, the analyst says in Today Inside. An investigation has been started by Ajax into the technical director, as, according to the NOS on the final day of the transfer market, Borna Sosa was recruited through a German agent’s office, which owns shares in a private Mislintat company. Johan Derksen is sure that Ajax, as a listed company, only has one option. “From what I’ve read now, this means the end for Mislintat.”
“Yesterday (Monday, ed.) I was at Veronica Offside and I had Andy van der Meijde at the table and he was laughed at a bit,” Wilfred Genee opens the subject. Van der Meijde claimed on Monday, even before the NOS came out with the big news, having heard in the corridors that an investigation had been started into Mislintat at Ajax. “Mislintat must be fired, today,” the former footballer shouted in the studio.
Tuesday confirmed the NOS that rumor. They came with the news that Ajax had attracted Sosa on the final day of the transfer period through a German agent office, which owns shares in a private company of Mislintat. Ajax appeared not to be aware of this. There may be a conflict of interest and the club has therefore started an investigation into the actions of the technical director.
Came later in the evening The Telegraph with even more details about the delicate affair. Journalist Mike Verweij wrote that Mislintat forced Sosa to change agents. Mislintat’s German business associate is the entrepreneur Arthur Beck, who bought shares in the company Matchmetrics GmbH. Mislintat owns 35 percent of the latter company’s shares. “What makes the transfer of Sosa, who ultimately went from Stuttgart to Ajax for eight million euros on September 1, extra spicy is that until August 31, the Croatian was not bought by Beck at all, but by Thies Bliemeister of the German branch of CAA Stellar. guided,” the journalist writes.
Bee Today Inside Johan Derksen does not hide his opinion. “From what I have read now, this means the end for Mislintat. As a listed company, Ajax is obliged to investigate. When he buys a player, he does so with an agent from the opposing team and they both have shares in his company, then that is shady. That is not possible.” Then the table turns to question how Mislintat could ‘do something so stupid’. “He has not studied the regulations of a listed company,” Derksen said. “No one will crow about that at a football club. But it remains shady.”
