Not sure how reliable the source is but “big if true”. Would be sad to see him go but we better get used to our staff being poached / leaving to upscale their career.

Ajax are a total mess right now. Taking that job on would be such a massive gamble and potential career suicide. Very risky
It’s not his first HM gig so don’t think it’s career suicide.
He just needs to survive relegation this season and he’ll be safe. I don’t think much else would be expected and if they wanted more, they’d bring in a more established coach.
It’s a great opportunity to show what you can do plus I’d lowkey love an unofficial Ajax feeder agreement.
Or, you’re taking a massive job at quite literally it’s lowest EVER ebb. In this context, the optics of incremental improvement can be incredibly impressive
Not sure that the optics of incremental improvement matter when next season they expect to win the league, shit they might still expect to win the league THIS season.
Poisoned chalice by every single metric, especially with how badly that club is run.
I mean what result will keep the new manager in the job? A reasonable person might say mid table, but I’ll bet Ajax think anything other than top 2 or 3 at worst is going to require another change.
Don’t think it’s career suicide at all. It’s a big club - if he doesn’t succeed it gets put down to the job being too big for him, too soon, and he should be coaching lower down and gaining experience.
Nah - it’s easier to make a positive difference than maintain a high level. Something broken where you feel you can turn it around is actually exactly what you want - there is a question of being set up success obviously but generally a struggling big club is quite attractive
I think I’ve seen this movie before back in 2019… (¬.¬)
It’s not career suicide. If he fails, he goes back to being a number 2, just like he is now. Having managerial experience is always a bonus for someone considered for a number 2 job.
Never a career suicide to get a foot in the door for his first manager job at a massive club. He’d be stupid to turn it down. An opportunity to manage his first team at a club like Ajax doesn’t come often
