Former Atlético Player Heitinga to Coach Ajax
News from the Netherlands that touches us closely, Atlético fans! John Heitinga, that defender who fiercely defended our shirt, is ready to take over the reins of Ajax Amsterdam.
After a successful stint as an assistant at Liverpool, where he savored the sweet taste of victory in the Premier League alongside Arne Slot, Heitinga returns to his beloved club to lead a new project.
The former Dutch international, with a brilliant career in European football, signs for two seasons with the Dutch giant, taking over from Francesco Farioli. Let’s remember that Heitinga already knows the Amsterdam club, where he trained as a player and won titles.
In addition, he already had a stint as interim coach, leading the team to the final of the Dutch Cup. His experience and knowledge of the club are undoubtedly a great asset for this new challenge. We wish John all the best in this new stage. An Atlético player on the bench of a European giant! Good luck, Heitinga!
