Graham Potter set to return to management? Ajax finally set to choose between ex-Chelsea boss and INEOS' Nice head coach Fancesco Farioli

Eredivisie

The Dutch giants are keen to rebuild their dominance in the Eredivisie and are looking to begin a new project with John van 't Schip stepping aside. Potter has been out of work since leaving Chelsea in April 2023 but built a good reputation for his brand of football. Nice boss Farioli is also in contention for the hot seat after enjoying a good season in Ligue 1.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ajax have not won the league title for two years and have been dominated by the likes of PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jordan-henderson-england-season-from-hell-ajax-saudi-pro-league-nightmare/blt3827f102f5f192a6" target="_blank"> Despite bringing in Jordan Henderson, they have failed to recapture the form that got them to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019</a>. Bringing in someone like Potter or Farioli would provide the first real period of stability since Erik ten Hag left two years ago.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ajax are a whopping 35 points behind Eredivisie leaders PSV with three games left to go in the season. They recently lost 6-0 away to Feyenoord and have shipped 58 goals, more than anyone in the top half of the table.

According to Dutch outlet <a href="https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/2076140613/komende-week-duidelijkheid-ajax-gaat-kiezen-tussen-graham-potter-en-francesco-farioli-als-nieuwe-trainer" target="_blank">De Telegraaf,</a> a decision is pending in Amsterdam but it is not clear who the club would prefer to appoint. The report suggests Potter may have a slight edge over his Italian counterpart but the former<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/graham-potter-rejects-ajax-offer-chelsea-manager-salary-demands/blt6e656a3fca3b056a" target="_blank"> Brighton boss previously distanced himself from the role</a>.
