Bij Ajax kreeg Heitinga de kans om zich op strategisch en technisch vlak verder te ontwikkelen, in een omgeving die hij door en door kent. De functie bood meer verantwoordelijkheid en invloed op het sportieve beleid van de club. Dat, gecombineerd met zijn sterke band met Ajax als voormalig speler en trainer, maakte de keuze voor hem duidelijk.<\/p>\n<p>Hoewel het aantrekkelijk was om bij een topclub als Liverpool te blijven, was de functie bij Ajax simpelweg te goed om te laten schieten. Heitinga ziet zijn toekomst in het Nederlandse voetbal, met het doel op termijn een leidende rol te spelen binnen een technische directie.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agent: Liverpool wilde Heitinga behouden, maar de functie van Ajax was te aantrekkelijk&#8230; &nbsp; Voormalig voetballer John Heitinga stond voor een lastige keuze toen hij in 2023 een aanbieding kreeg van Ajax.
