Van Basten wants Bergkamp back at Ajax in whatever capacity
Dutch legend Marco van Basten has confirmed press reports that he does indeed want Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp back at Ajax, but in a coaching capacity.
Bergkamp himself has admitted that he would be interested to get back into football, and would like to start training for his coaching credentials.
van Basten said: "I called Dennis a few weeks ago, because I wanted to know how he was doing and if he would want to do something for Ajax, in whatever capacity.
"It is important to work with as much quality as possible with Ajax and it is obvious that Dennis has qualities.
"In our conversation, Dennis said that he would come to the Netherlands to take the coaching course.
"Part of that course is that the participants enter a traineeship.
"I offered him a trainee post and he was very interested. I hope and expect that this will be good for Ajax and for Dennis.
"I think he can make players better. His presence will have an impact on the team.
"For Ajax as a whole it is also good that someone of Dennis' stature is involved with the club. At Ajax, Dennis can discover whether he enjoys being on the pitch in a different role."
