Ajax coach Erik ten Hag reacted for the first time to the case surrounding his former player Quincy Promes on Friday evening after the difficult victory over SC Cambuur. “It’s a very sad issue that he got involved in that. But it’s still with the media.”
This week Nieuwsuur announced that Promes (30), who is being prosecuted for the attempted murder of his cousin, has confessed to the stabbing in several conversations with his family. He did so over the phone while he was unaware that he was being tapped by the police.
Judge Judge
When asked, Ten Hag did not want to draw any premature conclusions. “That’s what the NOS says, but I’m waiting for the judge’s verdict.” Does he not value the tapped conversations?
“I don’t know how the NOS knows that. I don’t think the NOS is the judiciary. Right? But again: it is very bad and deeply saddening that he is in the news in this way, because he has so many qualities and here he shouldn’t have gotten into it. This is very bad for his image, that’s for sure.”
