Ajax have reached an agreement with MÃchel to take over as first-team coach, as confirmed by the Dutch club itself. The Madrid-born manager has signed a two-year deal, until 30 June 2028.
MÃchel arrives in Amsterdam after his spell at Girona, whom he led to qualification for the Champions League for the first time in the Catalan club’s history. This season, he was unable to keep the team in the top flight.Â
The Madrid-born coach brings an attacking, combination-based style that fits the traditional identity of the Dutch club. His work at Girona earned him international recognition and put his name on the radar of several top-level clubs.
With this appointment, Ajax fill one of the most sensitive positions in their planning for next season.Â
MÃchel’s first words in Amsterdam
“I feel good here; I’m proud to take this step in my career. Ajax is a big name in Europe, a club that has always produced young and talented players. Jordi knows me from my work in Spain, and we have spoken about the club’s philosophy, about how I work and how all of that fits together. He has shown me his full confidence and, together with the rest of the people at the club, we are starting a new challenge. The goal is to return Ajax to where it belongs, and I am convinced we will achieve it.”
