Original Adidas football training shirt AFC Ajax 2017/18

In the 2017/18 season Ajax will play in the Eredivisie, the KNVB Cup and it played in the preliminary round of the Champions League. In this, OGC Nice was lost over two games, so that the team moved on to the fourth qualifying round of the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League. In that competition too, two games were lost, in this case to Rosenborg. As a result, Ajax did not participate in a European main tournament for the first time since the 1990/91 season.

Ajax finished second in the Eredivisie this season, which entitles it to participate in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. Ajax was eliminated in the round of 16 in the KNVB Cup. Ajax lost 6 – 5 to FC Twente after penalties. It ended 1-1 in extra time.

One day after the elimination in the KNVB Cup, head coach Marcel Keizer and assistant trainers Hennie Spijkerman and Dennis Bergkamp were suspended. As of January 1, 2018, the new head coach Erik ten Hag and the new assistant coach Alfred Schreuder were appointed.
