John Heitinga will remain head coach for the rest of the season. The Ajacied is clear about what he expects the next couple of months and is excited to start. "I think I have the Ajax DNA, which I hopefully can translate to the group."
Ajax and John Heitinga have agreed on the 39-year-old ex-football player remaining head coach of Ajax 1 for the rest of the season. Dwight Lodeweges has been appointed as assistant coach in Heitinga's technical staff, with immediate effect.
Ajax's recovery session took place under the guidance of John Heitinga. The 39-year-old coach replaced Alfred Schreuder, who was removed from active duty after the match against FC Volendam Thursday evening.
Ajax chalked up their first victory of the calendar year on Sunday afternoon. The Ajax team were just too good against Excelsior, winning 4-1 in Rotterdam. John Heitinga has now taken over the reins at Ajax, following Alfred Schreuder's departure. He saw Dusan Tadic (from a penalty), Davy Klaassen, Mohammed Kudus and Devyne Rensch score for the Amsterdam side.
