Ajax's new coach Michal's player style and challenges

Michal (50) has now become the new coach of Ajax. After analyzing their playing style at Girona it is clear how crazy they are with the ball and focus on control. Michal can be profiled in two ways. Ajax will choose the positive side. In this scenario, Jordi Cruyff has taken on a coach who has been interpreted as the successor to Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola in 2024. Michel climbed to the highest level in Spain with three different teams. At Girona, they continued the success and made a long fight for the championship in the 2023/24 season and earned a ticket to the Champions League. Manchester City's satellite club achieved this feat with an impressive playing style. Artem Dovbic, Savinho, Miguel Gutierrez and Alex Garcia all flourished under his tutelage. A coach who develops young players through attractive football: exactly what Ajax needed. On the downside, Ajax has a coach who has been heavily relegated from La Liga with three different teams, although he was sacked once that became a reality. Last season, Girona finished at number 19, with the 9th biggest budget. When Michal missed last-minute chances in the Elche (1-1) game, internationals such as Thomas Lemar, Donnie van de Beek, Abel Ruiz, Christian Stouni and Fran Beltran sat alongside him. Feature players such as Vitor Rice, Viktor Tsigankov, Claudio Etcheverry, Brian Gill, Azzedine Ounahi and Joel Roca scored just 39 goals in 38 matches. Last year his production was not very good with 44 goals. A coach who had to step down, because his static positional football produced fewer goals: this would not inspire many Ajax fans. With all the procedures to analyze the period in Girona of Michel, to find the characteristics and clarity.
