Interesting if this "in house" appointment is what Ajax needs to improve. I suppose that's how Guardiola started in Barcelona, but my initial response would probably be that it's a dangerous way to go with many of these appointments failing to make it. Good luck.

Nice bit of manageraial upheaval.  You can't beat it, I say.

Good start for the new head coach, also announcing his intentions to play a 4-3-3 again. The Ajax way.

It's a bit of a crooked formation though, with CDM - LCM - RAM in midfield and RW - ST - LS in attack. Looks a bit funny, I've never altered positions like this (I have provided different instructions to different positions though). But I like the attention to detail, and I think it's quite common that two wingers in one team can have totally different roles, one being more of a striker and the other being more of a midfielder, providing that balance in the team.
