🚨 Ajax have their new manager | OneFootball

Ajax have reached an agreement with Míchel over his appointment as first-team head coach, as confirmed by the Dutch club itself. The Madrid-born coach has signed for two seasons, until 30 June 2028.

Míchel arrives in Amsterdam after his spell at Girona FC, whom he led to a historic qualification for the Champions League, the first in the Catalan club’s history. This season, however, he was unable to keep the team in the top flight.

The Madrid coach brings an attacking profile and a style of play based on combinations, in line with the traditional identity of the Dutch club. His work at Girona earned him international recognition and put his name on the radar of several top clubs.

With this appointment, Ajax have wrapped up one of the most delicate issues in their preparations for next season.

Míchel’s first words in Amsterdam

“I feel good here; I’m proud to take this step in my career. Ajax are a big name in European football, a club that has always developed talented young players. Jordi knows my work in Spain and we have discussed the club’s philosophy, my way of working and how it all fits together. He has given me his full confidence and, together with the rest of the people at the club, we are beginning a new challenge. The objective is to bring Ajax back to where they belong, and I am convinced we will achieve that.”
