Slot sacked by Liverpool, fans want him home
Liverpool have parted company with Arne Slot with immediate effect on Saturday (3). The timing has Ajax supporters flooding social media, demanding the club move for their former coach before he lands elsewhere. Slot, who left Ajax for Liverpool, is now suddenly available and the fanbase wants technical director Jordi Cruijff to act fast (3).
Míchel remains the club's top target
Despite the Slot noise, Míchel is still the preferred candidate for the Ajax job (1). The Spaniard recently suffered relegation with Girona but is rated as one of the best coaches in that club's history (1). His name has been at the top of Ajax's shortlist throughout the search for a permanent manager.
Tagliafico available, could a return work?
Olympique Lyon have told Nicolás Tagliafico he is free to leave this summer (2). The Argentine left-back was a fan favourite during his Ajax years and with the squad in transition, a reunion could make sense. No contact from Ajax has been confirmed.
Fan-reaktioner
The Slot news has completely overtaken the conversation among Ajax supporters. Beyond the manager talk, fans are also digging into a broader trend: since Marc Overmars' departure, the club has steadily moved away from signing players from the Eredivisie. The discussion on Reddit questions what that shift means now that Cruijff is overseeing recruitment.
