Former Liverpool assistant John Heitinga faced a barrage of questions from the Dutch press after Ajax suffered a 4-0 defeat to Marseille in the Champions League. Dutch journalists questioned former Everton midfielder Davy Klaassen about Heitinga's future following the match, and when they subsequently pressed Heitinga himself on whether this would signal the end of his tenure in charge, he responded: "No, I don't think so.

But I hear you're looking for it with Davy too. But we're a team in construction.
