US EditionLiverpool Coach Could Leave After One Season as Exit Talks Set to Be Held - Liverpool Echo
- Permission has been granted for John Heitinga, currently an assistant coach at Liverpool, to enter negotiations with Ajax about potentially taking over as their head coach this summer.
- Ajax is searching for a new head coach after Francesco Farioli resigned following a severe late-season collapse in the Eredivisie title race, during which the team lost a substantial points advantage over the last five matches.
- Heitinga, a 41-year-old former Ajax player with prior interim managerial experience at Ajax, joined Liverpool last summer as assistant to head coach Arne Slot.
- Heitinga achieved 14 wins out of 22 matches during his interim tenure at Ajax, and Liverpool anticipate finalizing an agreement soon, with Slot suggesting that it would be wise for Ajax to seriously consider appointing him.
- If Heitinga leaves, Liverpool plans to appoint a new coach for next season as Heitinga appears ready to lead Ajax, highlighting a key potential coaching transition for both clubs.
