According to Steijn, Maduro had been constantly leaking information from inside the dressing room to ESPN. I’d call that backstabbing honestly
This article now is clearly from Steijn. He blames the whole world and can’t accept that he lacks skills and insight to be trainer at a club like Ajax. It’s very telling that again other people are blamed, and Steijn is the victim. Who do you think called the papers?
Steijn has been setting up excuses for his eventual failure pretty much since day 1.
The thing is I do think there are some valid excuses like he didn’t get any of the players he asked for and the whole ‘build a squad while the competition is already on its way’ thing.
Berghuis and Maduro ‘backstabbing’ probably came after those two concluded that he’s not good enough for ajax. I think that part is bs.
But it wasn’t made easy for Steijn, that much is obvious as well.
Steijn seemed to do the same but with the telegraaf and the fat and stupid ex-Ajax squad

But specifically who though? There’s so many to choose from.
I’ve been wondering what’s the link there. I can imagine you’d back your former colleagues. But why are guys like Sneijder and Van der Vaart so determined to back Steijn?

They are not, they are just free thinkers withs lots of experience that dont buy the emotional oversimplifications that the fans want. They all recognise Steijn had to go because he wasnt performing and that Steijn was dealt an impossible hand due to all the chaos, high expectations and lack of quality surrounding him.
Because they have good contacts with him, Sneijder and Vd Vaart were close enough to him that they were being actively asked to be one of his assistants.
And Vd Meijde was literally getting most of his recent “scoops” from Steijn.
