Cruijff on Cruijff

In an interview last weekend with Catalan television station TV3 (read more here), two days before he officially became advisor to Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam (read more here), Barcelona legend Johan Cruijff was also asked about the possibility we would ever see him back on the bench.

Cruijff told that this was almost impossible: “It wouldn’t make sense and I don’t want it. To coach a team you have to be 200% ready for it. Before I liked football more and I think that’s why I won’t return to coaching. Now I give advice, which is something I like to do and in a way gives me some peace.”
