Óscar García has looked back on his spell as Ajax coach and said he believes he would have performed better than the club's current side has managed, NU reports. The remarks were published on Saturday, 31 October 2026, and were also picked up by VoetbalPrimeur and FootballTransfers.com.
According to NU, García used the interview to make his case after leaving Ajax, saying he would have done better with the group of players now at the club. VoetbalPrimeur reported that he claimed he would have done "one hundred percent" better. The reports do not specify which matches or period he was referring to.
García's time in Amsterdam ended quickly, and FootballTransfers.com has since published a piece on how his career has gone since that departure. The outlet's coverage is framed around the speed of his exit from the club.
The interview adds to the public record of García's view of his own tenure, though the available reports give no further detail on his specific criticisms or on how the current Ajax staff have responded.
What to watch next: whether Ajax or the coach's representatives respond to his comments, and how García's own career develops after the Ajax chapter.
