Bergkamp appointed Ajax assistant manager

Post by HashKads »

Dennis Bergkamp has been appointed assistant manager at Ajax.

The Arsenal legend was named as the Dutch giants’ youth team manager in January and has now been promoted the first team under Frank de Boer.

Bergkamp came through the ranks as a player at Ajax before heading to Inter Milan and then to Arsenal in 1995, where he spent 11 highly-successful years.

The 42-year-old rejoined his former club in 2008 and worked in a trainee role while he studied for his UEFA coaching badges.

Great players don't always make great managers but I would love it if The Dennis came back to us and was a huge success and won the CL, a trophy that he should have won as a player. 8)

To think human excrement like Sherringham, Rooney, Evra, The Neville Sisters and Piglips have won that trophy and a true legend like Dennis hasn't... it just makes me want to hurt people. :evil:

I wish him every success in his new role, which I hope turns out to be a stepping stone to his return back to the Arsenal :barscarf:

Good lucky Bergy - we love you :banner:

I wonder what will happen with him travelling though? Imagine we get Spartak, what is he going to do? Hit the road a week earlier? :lol:

GIC convinced him to stay another season. Who else will put out the cones like Elton, I mean Pat?
