Ajax sack Alfred Schreuder

Dutch champions, Ajax Amsterdam, have sacked the club’s manager, Alfred Schreuder, after a 1-1 draw with Volendam on Thursday.

The draw extended Ajax winless run to seven league games.

Schreuder was appointed on a two-year contract in May to replace Erik ten Hag after he left the Amsterdam-based club to take over as Manchester United manager.

With Ajax fifth in the Eredivisie, seven points behind leaders Feyenoord after 18 matches, they decided to part ways with the former Club Brugge coach.

Ajax Chief Executive, Edwin van der Sar, in a statement on Thursday, said: “This is a painful decision, but it’s necessary.

“Regardless of the good start to the season, we lost a lot of unnecessary points. The football itself was precarious too.

“Due to the World Cup, we had an early and long break during the winter.

“We gave Alfred our time and trust to change the way things were going. It became clear to us that he could not change the tide.”

Ajax have not won in the league since defeating RKC Waalwijk on October 23 and have drawn their last six Eredivisie matches.
