Clearly, the last few hours have been hectic for Ajax Amsterdam. While the match between them and Feyenoord was interrupted following a smoke bomb being thrown onto the pitch, the club’s management was also in trouble. Director of football Sven Mislintat was fired due to poor results.
In a press release published on social networks on Sunday morning, the club announced that it was “terminating the collaboration” with “immediate effect”. According to this press release, “The lack of support within the organization is the reason behind this choice.” This decision follows the catastrophic start to the season for Ajax, 13th in the Eredivisie with only 5 points on the clock. The German came to the club with the aim of bringing his expertise and his prospecting network to identify young talents. The adventure will have turned sour.
