Ajax appoint Spanish coach Míchel as new manager

Ajax Amsterdam have appointed Spanish coach Míchel as their new manager. The appointment follows his recent departure from Girona.

Míchel left the Girona side, known as the albirrojo, after a relegation confirmed at Montilivi. The Madrid-born tactician arrived in Amsterdam to take on the challenge of leading a continental heavyweight.

Ajax will rely on Michel to restore their dominance in the Eredivisie. The club announced the hiring as part of a strategy to reclaim the league title.

During his tenure at Girona, Michel introduced a revolutionary playing style. His work at the Catalan club earned him recognition before the recent setback.

The Dutch side expects Michel to implement his approach from the start of the upcoming season. Ajax's board indicated the appointment aims to secure long‑term success.
