Ajax has a new manager: Maurice Steijn. The 49-year-old coach has signed a three-season contract. He arrives by way of Rotterdam club Sparta. And Ajax goes back a long way with the club from Rotterdam. Following the arrival of this new manager, originally from The Hague, we take a look at a few well-known players and managers who can chalk up past associations with both Ajax and Sparta on their CV.
"Maurice Steijn, head coach of Ajax. That sounds very nice." A big smile appears on the face of the 49-year-old coach. The former Sparta coach was presented on Wednesday as the successor of John Heitinga. Steijn feels proud that Ajax has chosen him. "When the club selects you after several discussions and sees you as the right person, of course, you are very happy."
