Ajax have finalised an agreement to appoint John Heitinga as their new head coach on a two-year contract. The deal was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, with sources indicating that Liverpool gave their approval earlier this week, paving the way for Heitinga’s return to the Dutch club.
Heitinga, a former defender, has previous experience in management. His appointment comes after a period of negotiation between Ajax and Liverpool, with the latter granting permission for the move. According to Fabrizio Romano, the confirmation was made with Liverpool’s green light.
