He spent the next decade tearing defences apart in an Ajax shirt and making his mark on history in the Dutch capital.<\/p>\n<p>The iconic forward is the club\u2019s all-time leading goalscorer, having scored an impressive 194 goals in 287 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>During his trophy-laden career with the club from the Dutch capital, he won the Eredivisie title on eight occasions and also the European Cup three times.<\/p>\n<p>Cruyff\u2019s managerial career included a short spell as Ajax&#8217;s head coach. However, it was his work at former club Catalan giants Barcelona that is acknowledged as the most influential of his coaching career.<\/p>\n<p>He resurrected the Blaugrana\u2019s fortunes and was the man who promoted a certain Pep Guardiola to the first team in Catalonia. Guardiola\u2019s coaching career would later be highly influenced by Cruyff\u2019s own style.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"van-basten\">Marco van Basten<\/h2>\n<p>Many consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajaxdaily.com\/2023\/swan-of-utretcht-marco-van-basten\/\">Van Basten<\/a> to be one of the best number nines in football history.<\/p>\n<p>He broke into the Ajax squad in 1981\/82. However, the forward did not enjoy a breakthrough season in Amsterdam until the following season.<\/p>\n<p>Van Basten had just five full seasons with Ajax but scored 154 goals in 174 appearances in all competitions. His goals helped his team to three Dutch top-flight titles, three domestic cups, and the Cup Winners\u2019 Cup in 1987.<\/p>\n<p>The forward moved to Milan in 1987, along with compatriot Ruud Gullit. The pair played influential roles in the Netherlands, winning their only international trophy to date in 1988 when they won the European Championships.<\/p>\n<div id=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-counter-2\" class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper \" style=\"width:662px;\" data-g1-fluid-width=\"662\" data-g1-fluid-height=\"372\">\n<div class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-inner\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.19335347432%;\">\n\t       <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Van Basten Goal vs Soviet Union | Euro 1988\" width=\"662\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q3af4QIh1oc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t       <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The forward\u2019s volley against the Soviet Union in the final of the competition is still looked at as one of the most memorable goals in the international game.<\/p>\n<p>Van Basten\u2019s career was cut short by injury, and he was just 30 when he cut short his illustrious playing career, having not played since he was 28.<\/p>\n<p>He would later return to Ajax to have spells as a youth and then first-team head coach in the Dutch capital.
