Ajax are reportedly on the verge of appointing Michel Sanchez as their new manager, a move that follows his departure from Spanish club Girona.
The confirmation of Michel's exit from the Catalan outfit came after their unfortunate relegation from La Liga. The 50-year-old tactician experienced a season of stark contrasts with Girona.
Remarkably, just two seasons prior, Michel had guided Girona to Champions League qualification, implementing an attractive and entertaining style of football that captured the attention of many across Europe.
Despite the recent setback of relegation, Michel's reputation for tactical intelligence and strategic prowess remains largely untarnished. This, coupled with his proven ability to develop teams, has positioned him as a highly sought-after candidate.
Ajax, who concluded the Eredivisie season in fifth place and have secured a spot in the UEFA Conference League, are understood to have identified Michel as the perfect individual to spearhead a new era at the club.
The Dutch giants have reportedly held Michel in high regard for a considerable period, and his availability following his Girona exit appears to have cleared the path for his potential arrival at the iconic Johan Cruyff Arena.
For Girona, the upcoming season presents a significant challenge as they embark on a rebuilding phase in the second tier of Spanish football, aiming to bounce back swiftly.
Michel's potential appointment at Ajax signifies a bold move by the Dutch club, as they seek to leverage his experience and tactical acumen to reignite their domestic and European ambitions.
