In his final season with Ajax, he was able to guide them to a 36th Eredivisie title this season with a 5-0 win against Heerenveen in their last home game.

Here is what [Alfred Schreuder had to say upon being announced](https://english.ajax.nl/articles/alfred-schreuder-new-head-coach-ajax/) as the new head coach of the Dutch champions: 

“Becoming head coach at Ajax is an honor and a great opportunity, that I will grab with both hands. I’m also excited to return here, because I enjoyed the one and a half years I’ve worked at Ajax very much. I wish to win prizes here in Amsterdam, with a team that plays attractive football. 

“With a good balance between experienced top players and very big talents. But first I want to end the season with Club Brugge successfully. I want to say goodbye with a title, that is very important to me and I will do my absolute best to accomplish that.”

Schreuder has signed a contract with Ajax until June 2024, with the option for a third year. He was previously an assistant coach under Erik Ten Hag during their impressive 2018/19 campaign, and has now returned after a spell as head coach at Club Brugge.
