Technical director Alex Kroes said, "John, Marijn and I were looking to strengthen the technical staff. John suggested adding Fred Grim. With Fred, we are bringing in quality and a wealth of experience, both on the training pitch and on the bench during matches. We aim to further strengthen the staff around the team to improve sporting results as well as the development of our playing style and individual players."
How Ajax runs through Grim's life like a white-red-white thread
Fred Grim has seen it all at Ajax. As a teenager, he was scouted by Aad de Mos, later trained under Johan Cruijff and Louis van Gaal, won the UEFA Champions League, conquered the world, witnessed the evolution of football, and yet also saw how Ajax always remained Ajax. His club. The club where he first set foot in 1980, and where, 45 years later, he still works with great enjoyment.
