Marco van Basten has revealed he has not spoken to Johan Cruyff since the two Dutch greats fell out over plans to revive Ajax.

Van Basten, currently preparing Holland for next month's Euro 2008, will take over the Amsterdam giants after the tournament.

He had been due to work alongside Cruyff at Ajax but the two disagreed over how to take the club forward.

However, Van Basten does expect to resume relations with Cruyff, who has frequently helped out with advice about the national team.

"It needs time before everything will be as it was," Van Basten told De Pers.

"It is something that can be healed again though. But I think it will take until after Euro 2008 for that to happen."
