Ajax, a historic football club, experienced a chaotic season marked by management changes, fan disturbances, and poor performance. Remarkably, under new Italian coach Francesco Farioli, they entered a title race after a difficult start. They initially held a significant lead in the Eredivisie but faltered during the final matches, dropping crucial points and failing to score, resulting in PSV Eindhoven overtaking them for the title. This drastic change highlighted the volatility and unpredictability in football, particularly in a season that saw the club struggle for identity.
Ajax began the season as potential champions, but a disastrous final run saw their 9-point lead evaporate, allowing PSV to reclaim the title.
The pragmatic style adopted by coach Francesco Farioli contrasted sharply with the traditional Total Football, reflecting a shift in strategy for Ajax's tumultuous season.
