Maurice Steijn (49) had sinds zondagavond zijn twijfels, maar wilde maandag – ondanks de pijnlijke nederlaag bij FC Utrecht (4-3) en de zeventiende plaats in de eredivisie – in principe door als trainer van Ajax. Maar dan wel zónder Hedwiges Maduro en Steven Berghuis, die hij ervan betichtte een mes in zijn rug te hebben gestoken. Die eis was echter onbespreekbaar voor de Ajax-leiding, waarna in goed overleg werd besloten het tot de zomer van 2026 lopende contract van Steijn te ontbinden.
Is he not playing them out of spite? Or is it because they have looked absolutely dreadful every time they played?
Like, can you tell me with a straight face that players like Akpom, Gaeei, Mikautadze and Ávila have looked like good players on the field for even 10 minutes? Which one of those isn’t playing out of spite? That Medic guy scored an absolute worldie, but looks beyond dreadful for the rest of open play. The Mannsverk guy played one match and it was one of the worst individual performances I’ve ever seen from an Ajax-player.
