Ajax Amsterdam named John Heitinga as their new head coach for the next two seasons. The Dutch club signed him through summer 2027 after he left his job at Liverpool. Heitinga worked as assistant coach under Arne Slot at the English team before taking this opportunity. Liverpool confirmed his departure from their coaching staff on their official social media accounts. The former defender returns to Amsterdam where he previously coached youth teams.

Marcel Keizer joins Heitinga as assistant coach for the upcoming campaign. The new coaching team brings fresh ideas to the famous Dutch club. Heitinga gained valuable experience during his time working at Aston Villa and Liverpool. He learned different coaching methods from managers David Moyes and Arne Slot during those years. The coach feels prepared to lead Ajax after studying how major European clubs operate.

Heitinga shared his excitement about returning to manage Ajax's first team. He believes his years working at English clubs taught him important lessons about football. The coach said he watched closely how successful teams function at the highest level. His previous experience at Ajax gives him knowledge about the club's culture and traditions. Heitinga considers this appointment a special honor for his coaching career.
