OPPOSITION - AFC A J A X
ERIK TEN HAG
The 49-year-old Dutchman is the man
in the hotseat at the Johan Cruyff
Arena, and takes plenty of credit for
masterminding his side's thrilling
Champions League campaign. Formerly
a defender with the likes of FC Twente
and De Graafschap, he started his
coaching career at Go Ahead Eagles
in 2012, before a two-year spell in
Germany in charge of Bayern Munich 11.
Fie then returned to the Netherlands
in 2015, leading Utrecht to fifth
and fourth place finishes, the latter
meaning qualification for the Europa
League. Fie was then appointed Ajax
head coach in 2017.

The four-time European Cup
winners have made waves with a
youthful side in Europe this season,
drawing twice with Bayern Munich
in the group stage before a
stunning last-16 victory over
holders Real Madrid, which
included a 4-1 win in the Bernabeu.
Italian champions Juventus
were vanquished in the quarter
finals, again partly thanks to a
magnificent victory in the away
leg. Without a league title for four
seasons, Ajax are neck-and-neck
with PSV at the top of the current
Eredivisie table and lead the way on
goal difference with two rounds of
matches still to play
