Hedwiges Maduro is very pleased with the collaboration with Maurice Steijn for the time being. The fact that the two have the same football philosophy helps enormously, according to Ajax’s assistant coach.
It was Steijn who brought Maduro to Ajax. “I had known Maurice for a while and had occasional contact with him, especially via the app. The contact is super good. We actually talk about football every day. He already wanted to bring me to Sparta as an assistant. So I had contact with him. When he went to Ajax, he asked if I was also interested. It actually went very quickly,” says Maduro in front of the camera of AjaxTV.
According to Maduro, Steijn is a trainer who always wants to win. “And also with beautiful football. I think a lot of people think he is more realistic, but he also wants to win with beautiful football. He always looked at the players he had at his disposal. Sometimes it was not possible to play beautiful football. At Ajax that is possible.

According to Maduro, every trainer has his own role on the training field. “One time I am a bit more in the foreground, the other time it is Maurice or Said Bakkati. That is an interaction. You have to ensure that everyone can come into their own.”
