Ajax appoint new coach

The Urban Warriors have found coach Muhsin Ertuğral's replacement.


Ajax Cape Town have appointed former Ajax Amsterdam assistant coach Andries Ulderink as their new head coach.

The 49-year-old joins the team two weeks after Ertugral stepped down as the club’s head coach.

Ulderink first assignment will be a Nedbank cup game against fellow NFD side TS Galaxy.

Ulderink says any player has a chance to break into the starting XI.

“There are a lot of young players in the squad and this is a good sign for me, everyone must earn the position because I only know a little about each player, this is a good opportunity for them to earn themselves a spot in the squad,” told the club’s website.

“I love developing players and I really believe you are never too old to learn, this is the kind of squad that you can work on individuals and still get a team result, but for right now the goal for me is simple; learn as much as I can as quick as I can based on my own opinions and get the team back to the Premiership.”
