    Why? Ajax have games in hand so might survive relegation, should’ve been given time.

    The adventure of Maurice Steijn (49) at Ajax has been limited to four hectic months in good consultation. The trainer, who dropped to seventeenth place in the Eredivisie due to the defeat at FC Utrecht (4-3) with Ajax, is held responsible for the dramatic performance of the Amsterdam club.

    Despite the worst competition start in the club’s history, the native of The Hague gained confidence for a long time, because he was saddled with a selection that was worthless by Ajax standards by the tar and feathered director of football affairs, Sven Mislintat. Yet Steijn and Ajax agreed that it was better for both parties to part ways.

    Even with the mediocre and weak players that Mislintat attracted, the former coach of VVV-Venlo, NAC Breda and Sparta should have performed better. But he failed to get his players to agree with his way of playing. There was a lot of criticism about his line-ups, Ajax’s play and the training sessions. The defeat at FC Utrecht was also the well-known last straw for Jan van Halst and Louis van Gaal, who openly supported him last week, but now, like Steijn, see no other option to terminate the trainer’s contract.

    The timing is perfect. Get Peter Hyballa while he’s available.

    You just had an international break. If things were this bad, why not fire him BEFORE the break and let the coach prepare everything during the international break.
