IBRAHIMOVIC PRAISES KOEMAN

The former Vitesse Arnhem coach replaced Co Adriaanse earlier this week and he guided them to a 4-0 win over Fortuna Sittard in his first game in charge.

Ibrahimovic has been taken aback by the impact of the former Barcelona star on the training field during his short time in charge.

"He is terrific," said Ibrahimovic. "We were taking free-kicks and after a while he stepped in and blasted some home.

"Talk about respect, he has only been here for two days and you can see that he gets on really well with the lads.

"It already feels much better."

The Swedish international is happy with how his move to the Dutch giants has worked out.

"Everything is perfect around the club," said Ibrahimovic. "It's super professional.

"That's what I expected and it was why I chose Ajax.

"Then I just have to do my best and hope to get included in the World Cup squad."
