Ajax would do well not to immediately bombard Marijn Beuker as a ‘transfer man’, says Toon Gerbrands. Gerbrands, who worked with the new one at AZ Director of Football of the Amsterdam club, tells in #DoneDealthe VoetbalPrimeur podcast, what Beuker’s qualities are.

Beuker has been employed by Ajax since December 1. He came over from Queen’s Park in Scotland, where he was sporting director. Beuker and Gerbrands worked together at AZ between 2007 and 2014. The former once said in an interview that he owes a lot to Louis van Gaal and Gerbrands. “Given his character, it is a smart move by Ajax,” says Gerbrands.
“He will contribute expertise. He will keep an eye on the football lines and scouting.” Beuker is initially not concerned with direct transfer matters. According to Gerbrands, a good move. “Then you immediately reach the superlative level in terms of attention and experience. He does not have that expertise yet. I understand very well that he (the transfer man, ed.) has not become that.”

With a transfer man next to Beuker, the technical heart of Ajax can perform excellently, says Gerbrands. “Yes, absolutely. I think Ajax has consciously looked at: who is he and what can he do in the organization? Van Gaal (adviser to the supervisory board, ed.) said: If they leave this part to him and keep him out of the loop when making transfers or appointing new coaches, then I think it can be done.”
