Ajax to appoint Míchel as Slot replacement confirms report

Mike Verweij reports Ajax will not pursue Arne Slot as manager. The Liverpool-dismissed coach remains unavailable.

The club watcher cites internal sources indicating Míchel is the preferred candidate. A formal announcement is expected within days.

Ajax director of football Sven Mislintat has been negotiating targets in Amsterdam. Míchel’s appointment would align with the club’s rebuilding project.

Club legend Johan Cruijff is understood to have influenced the decision-making process. His input reportedly favors a technical profile matching the Ajax identity.

Míchel arrives with experience at Getafe and Sevilla in La Liga. His tactical approach is expected to prioritize possession and pressing.

Verweij’s report suggests fan sentiment remains mixed following recent underperformance. The potential appointment aims to restore stability and sporting direction.
