AFC Ajax's former director Alex Kroes has recently taken a small stake in LASK Linz, the Austrian club that has achieved a double this season. The exact details regarding the percentage of shares and the financial investment have not yet been disclosed. Kroes will take on a background role, similar to that of a supervisory board member. This move follows his previous successful involvement with other clubs, including Go Ahead Eagles. Kroes has a good relationship with the owner of LASK Linz and has connected him with Corné Groenendijk, head of international partnerships at AFC Ajax. This presents opportunities for both clubs to strengthen each other. However, the agreement between Kroes and LASK Linz still needs to be officially finalized.
