According to Mike Verweij, Girona head coach M\u00edchel is not yet a serious candidate for the Ajax job. Transfer journalist Matteo Moretto claimed as recently as Thursday that the Amsterdam club were \u2018in negotiations\u2019 with the Spaniard.<\/p>\n
The De Telegraaf club watcher revealed this in an episode of the Kick-Off podcast series. \u201cI\u2019ve had a quick word with Ajax\u2026\u201d, Verweij begins. Jordi Cruijff appears to have a clear strategy.<\/p>\n
“Look: Jordi Cruijff has two or three Dutch managers whom he considers good enough for Ajax. They are Arne Slot, Peter Bosz and Erik ten Hag. All three are currently out of reach. That\u2019s why he\u2019s looking across the border.”<\/p>\n
Cruijff will presumably be drawing on his extensive Spanish network. \u201cIt makes sense that he would end up looking in Spain. But there are people who assure me: no talks have taken place with any manager yet,\u201d explains Verweij.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Besides, Jordi Cruijff doesn\u2019t need to do that at all,” continues the journalist from the Amsterdam-based morning newspaper. “He knows them all personally; he knows what they\u2019re capable of.”<\/p>\n
“But it\u2019s clear that M\u00edchel is one of the top candidates, alongside two, three or four other Spanish coaches,” Verweij does confirm. However, there have been no negotiations so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to Mike Verweij, Girona head coach M\u00edchel is not yet a serious candidate for the Ajax job.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[101],"tags":[749,199,29686,30559,200],"class_list":{"0":"post-55018","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-amsterdam","8":"tag-ajax","9":"tag-amsterdam","10":"tag-girona","11":"tag-michel","12":"tag-netherlands"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116343468641135936","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
