Exciting news from the Netherlands suggests Jordi Cruyff is a strong candidate for the technical director position at Ajax Amsterdam. Will this mean he departs from the Indonesia national team?
The claim positioning Jordi Cruyff as a prime candidate for Ajax Amsterdam’s Technical Director role comes from Javier Giraldo, a respected journalist at Diario Sport. This development has sparked widespread discussion in Dutch football circles.
Jordi Cruyff is currently serving as the technical advisor for the Indonesia national team (PSSI), a position he assumed on February 25th. However, persistent rumors of his potential move to Ajax have gained significant traction, becoming a hot topic in the football world.
Ajax’s recent string of poor performances is largely seen as the catalyst for Jordi’s emergence as a top contender for the club’s new technical director. Javier Giraldo highlights Cruyff’s extensive experience in this capacity, particularly during his tenure with Barcelona, as a key qualification.
It is this proven track record and profound experience that firmly places Jordi Cruyff at the top of Ajax Amsterdam’s shortlist for the technical director role, with many believing he possesses the acumen to usher in a new era of success. Giraldo expresses confidence that, given adequate time and support, Jordi could steer Ajax back to its pinnacle of glory in European football. He emphasizes, however, that success would also necessitate a robust technical team working alongside him.

“He could be a good candidate; he understands European football, and he knows Ajax. If given time, he can help Ajax once again become a prominent team in Europe,” Javier Giraldo shared with Voetbal Primeur. He further cautioned, “It won’t be easy, as football is complex, and attracting the right players is never straightforward. Ideally, he should work with a strong technical team.”
One of Jordi Cruyff’s most notable strengths lies in his exceptional communication skills with players. This ability was a cornerstone of his success during his time at Barcelona, proving instrumental in the recruitment of several star players.
Giraldo elaborated on Cruyff’s persuasive prowess: “He is very adept at speaking with players and convincing them that a contract with Barcelona, or in this instance, Ajax, presents a highly appealing option.”
While it’s acknowledged that Jordi may not possess the magnetic aura of his legendary father, Johan Cruyff, he is widely regarded as a respected figure in Spain. His rapport with Barcelona fans is considerable, and it is anticipated that this positive sentiment would seamlessly transfer should he join Ajax Amsterdam.

“The ‘good’ and well-regarded Cruyff is an excellent ambassador; he is a loved and respected individual,” Giraldo remarked. He added, “Perhaps we perceive him as somewhat reserved; he doesn’t possess the charisma or aura of his father. Nevertheless, his reputation is overwhelmingly positive, his public statements are consistently fitting, making him a superb club ambassador.”
Crucially, the public information available does not specify an expiry date for Jordi Cruyff’s role as the technical advisor for the Indonesia national team. This leads to the pressing question: will Jordi Cruyff follow in the footsteps of Patrick Kluivert and leave the Indonesia national team? The upcoming developments are eagerly awaited.
Summary
Jordi Cruyff, yang menjabat sebagai penasihat teknis tim nasional Indonesia (PSSI) sejak 25 Februari, dikabarkan menjadi kandidat kuat untuk posisi Direktur Teknis Ajax Amsterdam. Klaim ini berasal dari jurnalis Javier Giraldo, yang menyebut bahwa performa buruk Ajax belakangan ini menjadi katalisator ketertarikan klub tersebut. Pengalaman luas Cruyff sebagai direktur teknis, terutama selama di Barcelona, menempatkannya di daftar teratas untuk peran ini.
Giraldo menyoroti rekam jejak dan keahlian komunikasi Cruyff yang luar biasa dengan para pemain, yang terbukti krusial dalam perekrutan di Barcelona. Meskipun tidak memiliki aura karismatik ayahnya, Jordi Cruyff dihormati di Spanyol dan diyakini dapat membawa sukses bagi Ajax jika diberi waktu dan tim teknis yang kuat. Spekulasi ini memunculkan pertanyaan mengenai statusnya di PSSI, mengingat tanggal berakhir masa jabatannya tidak disebutkan secara publik.
