You are aware that when he took over Ajax hadn't won a title in 7 years under 6 different managers and were in serious financial and organisational trouble? He took over in december 2010 when they were in 4th place, then they sold Suarez in january without getting a replacement in, and still won...

Oh man, crazy climax of the Dutch league. True, there's certain qualities not all great players have. They're not all leaders, not all good at communicating and teaching etc. That in combination with tactical intelligence.
