From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Johan Cruyff has returned to Ajax on an advisory basis after agreeing to become a member of one of three "sounding board groups".
A meeting last night between general manager Rik van den Boog, Ajax's board of directors and Cruyff confirmed the former Holland playmaker's willingness to advise on technical issues.
The other two sounding boards will focus on financial and association matters.
Ajax also announced further talks would be held to determine whether Cruyff's role would be expanded.
Cruyff won eight Eredivisie titles and three European Cups with the Amsterdam club as a player over two spells.
He also coached the club to the 1987 European Cup Winners' Cup crown.
The 63-year-old is equally revered at Barcelona, where he is credited with implementing the club's current pass-and-move style of play.
As a player at the Nou Camp, he won the 1974 Primera Division crown and, as coach, guided them to four Spanish titles and their first European Cup.
