People seriously overestimate Ajax dominancen in the Dutch league and Ajax as a European force this century..
ETH worker wonders at Ajax and it probably the 3rd most impactfull Ajax coaches ever with Michels and Van Gaal
“In 2010, Frank de Boer was appointed manager of Ajax and led the club to its first league title in seven years, and record 30th title overall, in the
2010–11 season. This was followed by back-to-back wins in
2011–12 and
2012–13 to match his three consecutive titles as a player in the 1990s. In
2013–14, Ajax was again Eredivisie champions, winning four consecutive league titles for the first time in club history.
[23] After finishing as runner-up to PSV in both
2014–15 and
2015–16, de Boer resigned as Ajax head coach in May 2016.”
Just to add context as like people mentioned before ETH was appointed, it’s not much different to what De Boer achieved and he lasted 4weeks probably less at Inter Milan because they couldn’t believe how poor he was. We should all be aware what happened at Crystal Palace too.
This was always ETH potential red flag and he hasn’t really done things from a coaching perspective to suggest much different.
