Pre-season

edit

New manager Alfred Schreuder,[39] arriving from Club Brugge, began the new season on 22 June 2022. On 1 June, several Dutch media wrote that assistant coach Winston Bogarde would no longer be part of the technical staff of the club in the upcoming season.[40] On 7 June, Ajax announced that main shirt sponsor Ziggo would extend their sponsorship on the back of the shirt with the name of their fibre optic cable name ‘GigaNet’.[41] On 17 June, Dutch media confirmed that Matthias Kaltenbach would replace Bogarde as assistant coach and come to Ajax for a minimal transfer fee.[42] On 19 June, Ajax released their new home kit for the new season.[43]

There was then a training camp in Austria from 17 to 23 July where Ajax played against Red Bull Salzburg on 19 July in Saalfelden. The match against Eintracht Frankfurt on 23 July though, was cancelled due to several COVID-19 cases in the Ajax-squad.
