AFC Ajax advanced to the next UEFA Conference League qualifying round with a 4-1 win over FK Vojvodina on Thursday evening. Under manager Míchel, the Amsterdam side delivered another convincing performance, matching last week’s result. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 5th in Eredivisie, 51 pts, 13W-12D-5L from 30 games, recent form WLDWL.
How is Míchel rebuilding AFC Ajax?
The Spanish coach is shaping a new-look Ajax, and back-to-back wins over Vojvodina show early progress. The 4-1 victory highlights the team’s attacking strength, having scored 57 goals last season with a +20 goal difference.
What does this mean for the Conference League?
Ajax now moves forward in the competition, with eyes on further preparation. Though 23 points behind Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven, the club’s European ambition remains clear. Meanwhile, FC Twente-eliminated in the Europa League qualifiers-watches as Ajax presses on.
What comes next?
With qualification secured, the focus shifts to squad reinforcement. The win over Vojvodina is promising, but tougher tests lie ahead. The team must prove it has learned from last season’s near-miss, finishing just outside the top four.
