Ajax are pushing to appoint Michel as their favourite candidate for the managerial job this summer, as the Dutch giants look to reset after a difficult campaign.
Softfootball understands that despite earlier reports linking Liverpool manager Arne Slot and Michel to the role, Ajax now view the Girona coach, who is set to leave the club immediately after their relegation as the priority option.
Michel’s availability has accelerated Ajax’s interest, and internal discussions are ongoing as the club works to finalise its decision.
