He only needed half a year to the course, but there was so clean enough that he logged off in Zeist. ,, I noticed getting heavier, I stood up with it and went to bed. Well then you better stop, I think. ”

It was the last few days quite fiercely reacted to his decision. It surprised the 42-year-old former international (67 caps). ,, Very weird that opinions of people in football who have not even talked to me. They can get my number to call me, do not do that and still throw things about me in the world. Where it refers to? I trust in the common sense of the people, that they do not believe anything. ” He would not name names. ,, Read the newspaper, listen on TV, hear them. ”

Pest in the web
Tribe wanted preferably no big thing of it. Two months ago, he reported himself in Zeist. Now it is on the street, he wants to give his thoughts best price. ,, I’m open to everything, including this. I have nothing all my life with classroom lessons, classroom, group discussions, I feel too embarrassed me. In the first months of the course, I tried to put me to it. In the course TC1 is me that succeeded, but with a year plague in my body. I myself when really forced. And now it was not. ”

He hopes that he can do a customized individual course. One like Clarence Seedorf got, for whom an Instructor regularly flew to Brazil to teach him there. Seedorf same tribe who wanted to get to AC Milan to become an assistant there.

Implications
,, I hope for a solution, “says Stam. ,, But it’s not the case that I went on overnight. I have carefully considered and accepted the consequences of this decision. My ambition is to become a head coach, but I do not want here first (a course in Zeist, ed.) Through it. I want to have fun in my work, even during the preparation for a new degree. That pleasure is anything but was rather the contrary, there was reluctance. ”

,, Maybe I should go immediately after my graduation TC1, but that was not allowed. I had to gain practical experience. So after a while I could start again on a course. I found nothing. ”

,, I have been honest with the KNVB. I immediately asked if I could get individual instruction. Because they still think about it. But I said, if it can not, then it is also good. Then I’m going to see what route I should walk. Maybe there are other countries through other ways, that I do not quite know. “

Classroom Anxiety
Tribe will not discuss diagnoses as’ classroom anxiety. ,, What a word. I used to always difficult with school, I was always busy outside. It was not the fear to sit inside, it was the urge to be outside. But I do not want this now takes on a life of its own. I do not want anyone here now create pressure on my behalf. Here we do come out, you know. ”

But what then? Ajax must look for another successor to Frank de Boer, if ever go away? Tribe: ,, I ever want to be head coach. That remains. I have made arrangements with anyone over the head a trainer. Even with Ajax. The follow Frank de Boer, I never mentioned. I’m not concerned with that, I’m enjoying myself well at Ajax. There are ‘tig’ options where I can go. But if it remains as it is now, I am still just an assistant somewhere. Also good. I’m an emotional person. My whole career I’ve made my choices on feeling. I want to also feel good about those choices. I fail there and I’m going to bale, then that’s bad for me, my family and my surroundings. And that’s the last thing I want. ”
