De Boer fears a new failure

Frank de Boer took less time to become a idol for Ajax from the bench than from the field twenty years before. The Dutch legend took over the first team in December 2010, with the team having no chance to qualify for the Champions League round of 16 and five points behind the Eredivisie lead. He surpassed the departure of Luis Suárez to Liverpool, was league champion seven years later and repeated the title the following four years. However, it suffered its worst afternoon when, on the last day of 2015-16, failed to beat the already relegated De Graafschap and lost the league. Since then, he has cried more than laughed on the bench.

its trajectory is summarized very easy, going from failure to failure in any kind of setting. With the great poster that he had won, he signed for Inter. One very different from today. He didn't make it to Halloween after seven losses in fourteen games, leaving the nerazzurri in a very committed position in the Europa League (three points out of nine possible). He coached Crystal Palace, but you have to be lucky to remember one of his games. Led five, with four defeats and one victory in the League Cup. Mourinho was in charge of making it clear: “He is the worst coach in the history of the Premier”.

In the United States you could say that it survived. They gave Atlanta United league champions with 'Tata' Martino and he won a Cup, in addition to the Campeones Cup, and reached the Eastern conference finals in 2019. However, when MLS returned from the pandemic, it was unable to get a single point in all three group stage games.

A month ago, the KNVB turned to him wanting to remember his first half of this decade more than the second. With a renewed Dutch team and that after reaching the final of the Nations League aspires to everything. So far, they have not won any of the first three games. They lost a friendly with Mexico and drew against Bosnia and Italy. Repeating presence in the Final Four involves winning against Bosnia and Poland in these two weeks, but it does not depend on himself. Be careful, because the prestige achieved long ago has a limit of failures.
