. It was only a year before the Italian coach took over as head coach of the Jia family. The contract between the Italian young coach and Ajax should have been in the summer of 2027. However, the collapse of the team at the last moment of this season finally ended his trip to Eredivisie two years ahead of schedule. In the last round of the Eredivisie, although Ajax defeated Twente 2-0, he was unable to make a comeback in the standings. His rival Eindhoven also defeated his opponent Rotterdam Sparta in the last round, counterattacked Ajax in the standings, and successfully defended his title with a 1-point advantage.

According to the end of the game, Ajax coach Vale Oli squatted on the ground and cried a day later, the 36-year-old Italian coach announced his decision to resign.

Vareoli was photographed squatting on the ground and crying after the game. The coach who led Eindhoven to stage the ultimate goal chase was the Dutch coach Peter Boss, a Dutch coach who has coached well-known teams such as Dortmund, Leverkusen, and Lyon. He has started his coaching career for more than 20 years and has never been involved in the championship honors of important competitions before.

However, since taking office as head coach of the Jia family in the summer of 2023, Bos has ushered in the peak moment of his coaching career. In his first season, he led the team to a league championship that was 6 years away and qualified for the Champions League this season;

This season, Eindhoven was still strong at the start of the league, and he won the top spot in the standings with 10 consecutive victories; but with the start of the Champions League, Eindhoven, who fought on both sides, felt obvious pressure. The three rounds of defeats in the Champions League stage dragged down the domestic league field. In the first round of the match against Ajax, Eindhoven swallowed the first loss in the league 2-3.

Then in order to reverse the disadvantage of the Champions League, coach Boss began to make efforts in the Champions League, defeating Girona, Donetsk Miners, Belgrade Red Star and Liverpool, qualifying for the Champions League round of 16 play-offs, and defeated Juventus in two rounds of the play-offs and successfully advanced to the top 16.

However, although I received joy in the Champions League, the domestic league had a red light. In January and February of the Champions League, Eindhoven suffered a record of 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses in the Dutch Eredivisie. In the standings, Ajax won 8 consecutive victories, and the score difference between the two teams widened to 9 points at most. In the first leg of the Champions League 1-7, Eindhoven defeated Arsenal 1-7 in the Champions League 1-3. Eindhoven was defeated by Arsenal 9-3 in two rounds and was eliminated.

However, looking back afterwards, it saved Eindhoven's domestic league in the final. On March 13, he ended the second round of the Champions League with Arsenal and returned home. On March 16, Boss's team defeated Valvik 3-0 away from home in the 26th round of the Dutch Eredivisie, officially started a counterattack;

On March 30, he lost to Ajax 0-2 at home, and was double-killed by his opponent in the league;

However, after "sacrificing" this game, the team won 7 consecutive victories in the last 7 rounds;

On the other hand, the Jia family only achieved a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 7 rounds, and lost 10 points;

In the end, Eindhoven also relied on his bravery in the last 7 rounds to successfully clear the gap between the two teams' 9 points, achieved a counterattack with a 1-point advantage, achieving two consecutive championships in the Dutch Eredivisie and successfully defended the title.

From the process, the schedule from April to the present can be regarded as the peak moment of Peter Boss, a local Dutch coach!

Looking back on this thrilling extreme score chase process, the main reason is that Eindhoven's lineup is not enough to support the two-line battle, the league is bad, the Champions League is bad, the Champions League is bad; to say a hindsight: Peter Boss and his team will eventually stage a good victory escape in the Dutch Eredivisie this season, and the most critical step is to lose Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals.
