The Ajax of Ámsterdam is scheduling to restructure his team with the aim to arm a new sportive project that give him back his position of honour, which seems to have lost because of the delicate sportive moment that cross. At present, it has given to know that, in front of the imminent course of John go 't Schip, the third trainer that has gone through the bench of the Dutch picture in this campaign, the cast amsterdamés would be considering to Xavi Hernández to assume the role of technical director for the period 2024-25.

Recently it has trascended, through 'SPORT', that the Ajax would be interested in fichar to another name with recent past in the Barça. In this sense, the name selected would be Jordi Cruyff, son of the legendary Johan Cruyff, the one who exerted like sportive director of the Catalan club in the season 2022-23.

The referred source also sustains that the 'Ajacieden' looks for to gather again to Xavi Hernández and Jordi Cruyff, those who worked together in the picture egarense, with the egarense like trainer and the amsterdamés like sportive director. It is necessary to remember that, together with Mateu Alemany like director of the Area of Football, attained a big work that carried to the success to the Barcelona picture in the course 2022-23, where won LaLiga and the Supercopa of Spain in 2023. Equally, taking into account that both are familiarised with the philosophy of the club culé, would fit perfectly in the dynamics of the Ajax, where handle institutional and sportive concepts quite similar.

The Ajax already tried fichar to Jordi Cruyff in 2022

It suits recalcar that Jordi Cruyff already had been tempted previously by the Ajax, when Marc Overmars left his charge like sportive director of the club (2022). In this moment, the 'Ajacieden' tried to incorporate it in a structure that included to Sven Mislintat like sportive director and to Klaas-Jan Huntelaar like link between the team, the sportive direction and the quarry.

However, this did not concretise in his moment. Now, a year afterwards, the Dutch club apparently will go back to try it to have the services of this big professional that has won the respect of the world of the football and whose surname has an important weight, especially in Low Countries.
