New Ajax boss Míchel faces a reshaped Vojvodina side in Amsterdam

Ajax will face Vojvodina in Amsterdam tonight at 21:30, as new Ajax coach Míchel takes charge of his first official match in the Dutch capital, following predecessor Francesco Farioli’s debut in the 2024/25 season. The game is broadcast live and will be analysed by journalist Sam PlantingJournalist for VIDe.

Míchel, the newly appointed Ajax-trainer, steps onto the Amsterdamse stage with the same pressure his predecessor felt when he first led the side in 2024/25. Both coaches now have a single match to set the tone for their tenure.

Vandaag, the focus shifts to Vojvodina, whose central duo of Josip Sutalo and Youri Baas was confirmed on 1 August 2024 for the Vojvodina‑Ajax encounter. The pair formed the backbone of the Serbian club’s recent formation.

However, nine of Vojvodina’s teammates who featured in that August lineup are no longer under contract with the club, indicating a significant turnover since the initial squad announcement.

Only three players who started for Vojvodina‑Ajax in the 2024 match remain in the starting eleven for tonight’s game, underscoring the limited continuity within the Serbian side.

The clash takes place in the North‑Serbian city of Novi Sad, where Vojvodina presents a refreshed opponent whose playing style now revolves around a returned number 10 and a newly signed striker.

The contrast between Ajax’s fresh managerial direction and Vojvodina’s re‑engineered roster highlights a test of adaptability for both sides as they seek early success in their respective campaigns.
