Career My Football Manager Journey with AFC Ajax

[SSolas]

**Why choose AFC Ajax?**

So, let's talk about why I think AFC Ajax is an awesome choice for any football manager itching for a challenge. Did you know that AFC Ajax has won the Eredivisie a record 35 times? Now that's some serious winning history right there!

**Home Sweet Home: Stadium & Training Facility**

Man, the Johan Cruijff ArenA is an absolute gem. The atmosphere in there is electric, and with top-notch training facilities, our players have the perfect place to grow and shine.

**All-Star Crew: Staff Members & Financial Stability**

Our staff is rock solid, and we're in a great spot financially. I've got a fantastic team backing me up, and I've delegated training to my Assistant Manager so I can focus on steering the ship to victory.

**Shaking Things Up: Squad Changes**

We've made a few key signings to take our squad to the next level. Bringing in fresh talent while bidding farewell to some players has injected new life and potential into our team.

**Mastering the Art: Tactic and Style of Play**

I've taken a leaf out of FC Barcelona's epic 2010-2011 season playbook and implemented a 4-1-2-3 formation, with three pressing forwards leading the charge. It's all about that high-pressing, possession-based style, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer on the pitch.

**The Rollercoaster Ride: The Results**

We've had some epic highs and a few tough bumps on the road. We clinched the Eredivisie title, which was a sweet victory. However, we did stumble in the round of 16 of the Europa League and only made it to the semi-finals of the KNVB Beker. It's all part of the game, and we're gearing up to come back even stronger next season.

Wow that was close. You won the title by just a single goal scored right? Has that been the closest title win in your careers so far?

I do wish you’d experiment with your midfield three to put them in slightly more attacking starting positions - for example move the AP to be an AMC / AP, with a MC / B2B MC / Anchor midfield pair 🙂 i think you’ll score more goals that way - and you should still be defensively solid as you’re using such dominant teams (Ajax, Barca, Man City).

Thoughts? 🙂

Always interesting to see you do well at different clubs Solas, good to see you use the same tactic for every save 👍 very very close this season, im currently PSV, I love the Dutch Leagues, finished 2nd this season, with feyenoord winning the league by 8 points

Hey there @DanEnglish! Yeah, it was a really tight finish, just clinching the title by a single goal! It was definitely one of the closest wins I've had in careers so far!

I hear you on the midfield setup. I've been sticking with the tiki-taka style for the most part, and it's been working well for me. But I'm definitely open to some experimentation with the midfield trio. Your suggestion of adjusting the positioning to create more attacking opportunities sounds intriguing. I'll give it a go and see how it impacts the goal-scoring potential while maintaining defensive solidity. Thanks for the tip! Always up for trying out new tactics to keep things interesting. 😊

Hey @leedsunited87, that's awesome! Congrats on your season with PSV! I love the dutch league too & there history with Football. Feyenoord must have been on fire to clinch the title by 8 points. Keep up the good work!🫡
