PETER BOSZ

Age 53 (21.11.63) After a decade-anda-half of relatively unheralded technicalarea work in Holland with AGOVV, De Graafschap, Heracles and Vitesse, and then in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv, he achieved his big break in May 2016 when he took charge of Ajax.

With his love of attacking football and belief in young players, he proved a good fit at the Amsterdam club, and to crown his inaugural campaign he led them to the Final of the Europa League.

Capped eight times by Holland as a hard-working midfielder, he also had two-and-a-half years as technical director at Feyenoord.

This season he became the first coach in the history of the Bundesliga to guide his side to a clean sheet in his first five games in charge.
