Overview
- AD and NOS report that Erik ten Hag has rejected Ajax after holding multiple discussions about the vacancy.
- Ajax remain without a permanent head coach under interim Fred Grim following last week’s sacking of John Heitinga.
- Instability in the football department, including the departures of technical director Alex Kroes and technical commissioner Danny Blind, was cited in the Dutch reporting as a key concern.
- Ajax are assessing alternatives, with Sky Germany reporting talks with former Wolfsburg boss Paul Simonis.
- Ten Hag had also been linked with Wolves but was reported to have turned that job down, as separate reports say Wolves moved toward hiring Rob Edwards.
