After a disappointing fourth-place finish the previous season, Ajax rebounded strongly under manager Morten Olsen to dominate the 2001–02 campaign. The team clinched the Eredivisie title in commanding fashion, finishing 17 points ahead of second-placed PSV Eindhoven. They also secured the KNVB Cup, demolishing PSV 5–0 in the final, showcasing their attacking prowess.
Shota Arveladze was the standout performer, finishing as the league’s top scorer with 25 goals and netting 37 across all competitions. The Amsterdam Arena witnessed Ajax’s resurgence as they combined clinical finishing and tactical brilliance to reclaim their place at the top of Dutch football.
In European competition, Ajax reached the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, further underlining their strong form. While they fell short of continental glory, their domestic double ensured the season would be remembered as a triumphant return to form.
