Ajax fans react to Michel's English during presentation

Ajax presented Michel as their new head coach on Tuesday. The Dutch club confirmed his appointment via official channels.

Ajax supporters have reacted to Michel's English during his introductory press conference. Concerns were previously raised about his English proficiency, which reportedly influenced Bayer Leverkusen’s decision not to pursue him.

Michel conducted the entire Ajax media session in English. His performance surprised a segment of the fanbase accustomed to doubts about his language skills.

The club did not address language concerns beyond the presentation. Michel’s immediate focus appears to be team preparation ahead of pre-season.

Ajax’s next competitive match is scheduled for July 27 against FC Dordrecht in the KNVB Beker.

Fan reactions on social media ranged from supportive to skeptical regarding his integration.
