Ajax have sacked Alfred Schreuder, who replaced Erik ten Hag as manager of the Dutch giants, after their winless run in the Eredivisie was extended to seven games.
Schreuder only joined Ajax in the summer, coming in after Ten Hag left the Johan Cruyff Arena to take up his post at Manchester United. But the United boss has proved to be too tough an act to follow for Schreuder, who leaves with Ajax fifth in the table.
The final straw for the Ajax board came on Thursday night when they saw Schreuder's men held to a draw by relegation threatened Volendam. Ajax even fell behind in that game, with the club deciding that Schreuder is not the man to turn their form around.
