Denny Landzaat

Incidentally, on Tuesday it came out that Emanuelson was not the first option to play a role within the new Technical Staff to be formed led by Heitinga. The Amsterdam club hoped to trap Denny Landzaat, but he is currently active within the technical staff of Indonesia and cannot combine that role with a job as an assistant trainer of the record champion of the Netherlands.

Due to the cancellation of Landzaat, Emanuelson is therefore the next lucky one in line. On Monday, it came out that the child of the club – last season – still assistant coach of Frank Peereboom at Young Ajax – is in conversation with the club management. The intention is that Emanuelson will get a role in which he will mainly work with the players of Ajax on an individual basis. He also performed the same work at Young Ajax last season.

Technical Staff Ajax 1

What is already certain is that Marcel Keizer will be active in the technical staff of Ajax 1 next season. The former head coach of the club was presented with Heitinga at the same time. Peereboom and Emanuelson, a duo that already knows each other well from their joint time at the promise team, must assist Heitinga and Keizer. It means bad news for Dave Vos, because he has been told that there is no room for him within the new technical staff. Vos is currently looking forward to the next chapter in his trainer career.
