Ajax 2026 Conference League progress

Entities: Savić · FK Vojvodina · Ajax Amsterdam · Dragoljub Zbiljić · Marko Savić

Overview

Ajax’s 4‑1 first‑leg win over Vojvodina on 22 July put the Dutch side in a strong position for the return match on 30 July. On 28 July Serbian club FK Vojvodina dismissed head coach Miroslav Tanjga after two domestic defeats and appointed Marko Savić as his replacement. President Dragoljub Zbiljić praised Savić’s bravery and the new coach pledged to give the team its maximum effort to overturn the deficit, despite having overseen only two training sessions. Ajax manager Míchel confirmed he will retain essentially the same starting eleven—Maarten Paes, Lucas Rosa, Aaron Bouwman, Daley Blind, Caio Henrique, with Youri Regeer, Davy Klaassen and Oscar Gloukh in midfield, and Steven Berghuis, Kasper Dolberg and Mika Godts up front. The coaching change adds a fresh narrative to the looming second leg, which will decide whether Vojvodina can stay in the competition or refocus on domestic matters, while Ajax remains on track for a possible third‑round clash with Shelbourne.
