Natio-manager Brian Tevreden in beeld als technisch directeur Ajax

Amidst the ongoing turmoil at Ajax, Brian Tevreden has emerged as a potential candidate to steer the club out of its current crisis. The Dutch football giant recently dismissed coach John Heitinga and two of his assistants following a series of disappointing performances in both the Eredivisie and the Champions League. Ajax currently trails league leaders Feyenoord and PSV by eight points and has suffered four consecutive defeats in Europe. The mounting pressure from fans and the board led to Heitinga’s departure, with technical director Alex Kroes also offering to step down, though he was urged to stay until the end of the season. Journalist Mike Verweij of *De Telegraaf* suggested Tevreden as a potential successor to Kroes, sparking widespread speculation across football blogs and sports media. However, Tevreden has firmly dismissed the idea of leaving his current role prematurely. As the general manager of Suriname’s national football team, he is focused on preparing for the crucial World Cup qualifiers against El Salvador and Guatemala. ‘Natio comes first for me,’ Tevreden stated. ‘We have big business to handle now.’ Tevreden, a former Ajax youth player and coach, has maintained strong ties with the club but remains committed to his current responsibilities in Suriname. He emphasized his determination to complete his journey with coach Stanley Menzo before considering any future opportunities.
