Ajax could be declared champions this Wednesday for the third time in a row and thus offer a good farewell to their still-coach, Erik ten Hag, if they beat Heerenveen in the penultimate round of the Eredivisie. Under the command of Manchester United’s new coach, Ajax reached the semifinals of the 2018-19 Champions League after beating Real Madrid and Juventus.
If the ‘ajacied’ defeat to Heerenveen, PSV Eindhoven, 2nd, 4 points behind the leaders from Amsterdam, will no longer be able to catch up. Ten Hag, who leaves this summer for Manchester United, will leave Ajax with their third league title in four and a half seasons at the Dutch club. Includes two Cups and a Johan Cruyff Shield (that country’s Super Cup).
Feyenoord became an ally of Ajax on Sunday by drawing against PSV (2-2) with a controversial last gasp penalty in favor of the Rotterdam team. On Sunday itself, Ajax drew against AZ Alkmaar (2-2).
If they win the Eredivisie, it will be Ajax’s first trophy this season, as Ten Hag’s team lost to PSV in the Dutch Super Cup and in the Cup final. They were eliminated by Benfica in the Champions League round of 16 after winning all their league matches.
Ajax had 79 points from 32 games, while PSV added 75. The team from Eindhovn will host NEC Nijmegen on Wednesday. The last day was played on Sunday.
