Turkish Super Lig: Ajax have reached an agreement with Francesco Farioli and OGC Nice for the transfer of the head coach to Ajax, the Amsterdam based soccer club has announced.

The 35-year-old Italian signed a three-year contract until mid-2027. Farioli's so far short career as head coach started in 2021 at Fatih Karagumruk in the Turkish Super Lig and later that year he signed for Alanyaspor. Last season he led OGC Nice to the fifth place in the French Ligue 1, reports Xinhua.

"We want to reconnect with the DNA of the club, aiming to bring new energy with a positive way of working and thinking," Farioli stated in a press release. "I'm aware that there is a lot of work to do, but we have already begun preparing. We don't want to waste any time getting ready for the new season and bringing Ajax back to where it belongs."
