Van Gaal breaks with Ajax: Vision no longer fits
The tactical master retreats now that his allies are gone and the course shifts.
Louis van Gaal has pulled the plug on his role as advisor at Ajax, a decision that is less about rest and more about politics. The 74-year-old football master no longer sees any point in structural cooperation now that the power base that brought him to Amsterdam in 2023 has been systematically dismantled. Van Gaal returned at the club's request to inject much-needed football intelligence and experience into a collapsed hierarchy.
