Ajax to consider Dave Vos, Farioli’s assistant, as Heitinga successor

The period after Farioli has been difficult for Ajax. The Dutch club is in fourth place in the Eredivisie after 12 rounds, 11 points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven, and in the Champions League, they have yet to earn a single point after four matches.

This disappointing performance led to the dismissal of John Heitinga from the position of coach and, in the search for a successor, the Amsterdam club is said to have targeted a familiar name who is currently working at FC Porto.

According to the Dutch press, Ajax officials have included Dave Vos—one of the assistant coaches of Francesco Farioli—on the list of possible replacements for Heitinga. The Dutch coach, 42, spent more than ten years at Ajax over two different periods, managed the B team in 2022/23 and 2023/24, and last season was part of the Italian’s coaching staff.

According to A BOLA, FC Porto has not been contacted in this regard, so for now, the interest in Dave Vos is only at a preliminary stage, along with other alternatives.
