Ajax head coach Francesco Farioli has admitted that selling Super Eagles forward Chuba Akpom to Lille in January was a mistake.
Farioli made this confession after Ajax were knocked out of the Europa League following a 6-2 aggregate defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
Reflecting on the team’s struggles, he acknowledged the challenges of competing at a high level after losing key players during the winter transfer window.
“It is difficult to perform in three competitions when you lose Devyne Rensch, Chuba Akpom, and about six other players,” Farioli told Ajax1.
Ajax will now turn their focus to the Eredivisie, where they face AZ Alkmaar this weekend as they aim to bounce back and stay in the title race.
