It all started on a trip to Barcelona. While wandering the city’s vibrant streets in search of the best places to experience the local football culture, we realized there was no comprehensive travel guide tailored to soccer enthusiasts. Football fans deserved a resource that combined the thrill of travel with the passion of the sport.

When Peter Bosz took charge of Ajax in the summer of 2016, the club was yearning for more than just domestic success. After years of structured but often conservative football under Frank de Boer, Ajax fans craved flair, urgency, and European recognition. Bosz brought exactly that—and in the space of just one season, he reawakened the club’s attacking spirit and guided them to a memorable European final.
When Ajax called on Frank de Boer in December 2010, the club was at a crossroads. The excitement of the Martin Jol era had faded, the league title had remained elusive for years, and fans craved stability with ambition. De Boer, a former captain and defensive rock of the golden 1990s, stepped into the spotlight—not with flair, but with calm determination.
In the chaotic world of football management, sometimes experience is the antidote to turbulence. When Ajax appointed Martin Jol in 2009, they were seeking just that: a seasoned professional who could harness raw talent, enforce structure, and return the club to its rightful place among Europe’s elite. Though Jol’s spell at Ajax was short, it was impactful—marked by attacking flair, promising youth, and the reawakening of ambition in Amsterdam.
