According to Vi.

Context

Míchel, as the new coach of Ajax, has the responsibility of turning the club around in the Eredivisie, after a disappointing season. His experience and vision of attacking play are essential to restore the pride of the supporters and achieve the title objectives set by management.

Why it matters

The arrival of Michel at the head of Ajax marks a crucial turning point for the club, which seeks to regain its status as leader in the Eredivisie. By emphasizing a winning mentality and attacking play, it meets the expectations of the fans and Jordi Cruijff's ambition to win the title this season. This new direction could also influence the development of young talents within the Eredivisie.

Key points

• Míchel reveals his two main goals at Ajax.
• Míchel, 50, sets two clear priorities at Ajax: establishing a winning mentality and satisfying the fans with a new offensive game.
• Míchel remains central to Ajax's plans.

The new Ajax coach, Michel, has outlined his two major priorities since taking office in Amsterdam: to recreate a “winnaarsmentaliteit” – a winning mentality – within the group, and to make the supporters proud through attacking and committed football. The 50-year-old Spanish technician detailed these ambitions in an in-depth interview with VI PRO.

Míchel recalled the wait around the historic Dutch club: “There is still a lot of work to get to know my players better and see what we need to achieve what Ajax always wants to achieve, namely: winning titles,” he declared, reflecting his desire to adapt his project to the current squad. Technical director Jordi Cruijff also laid the foundations: the declared objective is to aim for the title this season with Ajax.

On the style of play, Michel was explicit: “I am looking forward to playing attacking football, as we have always done here in the past.” For him, honoring the club's history requires a recognizable and attractive identity on the pitch, which must simultaneously produce results.

The coach was keen to set clear priorities: “My number one objective is to cultivate a winning mentality. And goal number two: for our fans to be proud of the way Ajax plays.” He adds, however, a pragmatic warning about the road ahead: “It’s very easy to say now. We have to work hard to achieve this. »

Míchel also warned against complacency and the gap with rivals: “We cannot afford to finish 28 points behind PSV again,” he said, showing the demand he intends to instill in the group.

These declarations set out a clear framework for the coming season: restoration of a winning mentality, return to an offensive game that thrills the Johan Cruijff ArenA, and the announced ambition to fight for the title. It now remains to be seen how these intentions will translate on the pitch, through training, tactical adjustments and the first official meetings in the Eredivisie.

The rest

Míchel will now have to work closely with his players to instill that winning mentality and develop a style of play that reflects Ajax's heritage. The next few weeks will be crucial for establishing team cohesion and defining tactical priorities. The team's performance in the first matches of the season will be closely scrutinized by fans and observers of Dutch football.
