Ajax have officially named John Heitinga as their new head coach, marking a full-circle moment for the former Dutch international.
Heitinga is no stranger to the Amsterdam giants — he previously played for Ajax and briefly took charge as interim manager in 2023. Most recently, he served as assistant coach to Arne Slot at Liverpool, gaining valuable Premier League experience.
Now, Heitinga returns to Ajax for the top job on a permanent basis, as the club looks to rebuild and restore their dominance in Dutch football.
A new era begins at Ajax.
