Witschge to Alaves

  
Richard Witschge

10 August: Richard Witschge will be loaned out immediately to Spanish club Alaves. After some big problems with head coach Co Adriaanse, Witschge said he never want to play under Adriaanse anymore. He rather would play for Haarlem than to be on the bench at Ajax. But after a week of negotiations it turned out to be Alaves.

At the Spanish side Witschge (31) will play together with another Dutchman: Jordi Cruijff. With Jordi last season Alaves lost the UEFA cup final against Liverpool in an absolute thriller (5-4).

Under Jordi's father as a coach Witschge made his debut at Ajax in 1986 when he was 17 years old. Later he joined Cruijff at Barcelona. Before his return to Ajax in 1996 Witschge also played for Blackburn Rovers and Girondins Bordeaux.
