Ajax's Constant Managerial Changes

Ajax, the Dutch football club, has been forced to name their sixth manager of 2023, despite a recent turnaround in their fortunes. The team has managed to secure five straight victories in the league, but this has not stopped the managerial merry-go-round at the club.

Michael Valkanis Takes Over Temporarily

Assistant coach Michael Valkanis has temporarily taken over as the main manager for two games. This decision came about when manager John Van't Schip had to travel to Australia for his son's wedding.

Van't Schip's Short Tenure

Van't Schip, the former manager of the Greek national team, took over at Ajax on October 30 after the team's poor performance under predecessor Maurice Steijn. However, his stint at the club has been cut short due to personal reasons.

Ajax's Draw with Zvolle

Valkanis' first game in charge saw Ajax draw in a dramatic home match against Zvolle. Despite initially leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Brian Brobbey, the team conceded two goals by German striker Lennart Thy and settled for a point.

Valkanis' Vision for the Team

Welcoming his temporary appointment, Valkanis expressed his passion for attacking football and his desire for the team to play with a competitive spirit. He emphasized his love for the sport and his dedication to coaching.

Ajax's Managerial Carousel

Ajax's managerial carousel began at the start of the year with Alfred Screuder. Since then, the team has gone through John Heitinga, Maurice Steijn, Hedwiges Maduro, and now Michael Valkanis. The club hopes that this latest appointment will bring stability to the team.
