End of an enormous error.
vindication for the two of us, just two months too late
Currently watching back last night's studio voetbal laughing at the whole bizarre discussion about how he somehow isn't to blame. So happy to see this news pop up while watching that.
It was so painfully obvious. It’s a shame that we’re right, it would’ve been better had Steijn been a success.
Didn't fans, back then, say that if you turned out to be right later, it had to be just a lucky guess.
It felt like on reddit, people desperately wanted to be the ''sensible'' type of fans, so they refused to judge Steijn, cause his job wasn't easy.
It didn't take long till every support for Steijn just ended up being a fallacy. ''Fans expect Ajax to play like prime-Barcelona after the coach's first week!'', ''They're are so many new players and you expect them to play like they did in the 70s?'', ''So you think this is all 100% Steijn's fault?''
I think, in the end, Steijn's supporters were thinking more in black-and-white than the fans they accused of doing that.

The bigger picture is even more an enormous error.
Finally… only 4 weeks to late. Now who will take over?
Graham Potter, Hansi Flick, Julian Lopetegui.
There are some decent managers available at the moment.
De Boer it is!
Potter would cook with them next year, if he keeps them up... But he's awaiting a Prem job surely
These kind of names are always rumoured but they never come. In the end they prefer waiting for a PL job.

I think the Manchester United manager could be a great fit and might be available soon
Glasner
Hedwiges Maduro is now taking over, but you can't keep appointing temporary coaches.
Robert maaskant would be my pick.
I'd be interested in how Ole would do
Interim LvG while they decide?

Wonder who will take over for now and who will take over in the long run
Shocked it took so long
Why? Ajax have games in hand so might survive relegation, should’ve been given time.
Steijn was a disaster, but it's not just the manager that's the problem. Selling all your best players year after year eventually catches up to you when the next crop coming through aren't as good.
Wtf is this allowed?
The adventure of Maurice Steijn (49) at Ajax has been limited to four hectic months in good consultation. The trainer, who dropped to seventeenth place in the Eredivisie due to the defeat at FC Utrecht (4-3) with Ajax, is held responsible for the dramatic performance of the Amsterdam club.
Despite the worst competition start in the club's history, the native of The Hague gained confidence for a long time, because he was saddled with a selection that was worthless by Ajax standards by the tar and feathered director of football affairs, Sven Mislintat. Yet Steijn and Ajax agreed that it was better for both parties to part ways.
Even with the mediocre and weak players that Mislintat attracted, the former coach of VVV-Venlo, NAC Breda and Sparta should have performed better. But he failed to get his players to agree with his way of playing. There was a lot of criticism about his line-ups, Ajax's play and the training sessions. The defeat at FC Utrecht was also the well-known last straw for Jan van Halst and Louis van Gaal, who openly supported him last week, but now, like Steijn, see no other option to terminate the trainer's contract.
Took 'm fucking long enough.
So this is christmas
To the surprise of absolutely no-one.
I thought they would keep him untill after the PSV game tbh.
New account?
Wonder who's next. Vos maybe?
Honestly don't think that Dave Vos would be a bad appointment, but I really hope that the board gets rid of the ridiculous Dutch only requirement.
Crying and thanking the lord
EuropeanLad is the happiest person on earth now
That guy was really going through it lately
Let's see if a different coach can make something out of this player group. This season is wasted anyway, so Ajax should just focus on rebuilding. Just try to finish top 12 and go for Europe again next season with a complete rebuild.
Thanks for yesterday mate 👏🏾👏🏾
Another one bites the dust
The timing is perfect. Get Peter Hyballa while he's available.
Let the shitshow continue!
Okay good news…. But now what? Feel like there arent any replacements available atm
You just had an international break. If things were this bad, why not fire him BEFORE the break and let the coach prepare everything during the international break.
Who will come in?
Ajax reportedly want John van 't Schip as their new coach https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/ajax-zet-in-op-van-t-schip-als-interim-trainer
