Former Manchester United and Netherlands goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has left Ajax, the club have confirmed.
Van der Sar, a Champions League winner with Ajax in 1995 and United in 2008, had served as CEO of the Amsterdam club since 2016. However, after a difficult season for the reigning champions, fan unrest has been followed by an exit for the 52-year-old.
Ajax struggled after manager Erik ten Hag left for Manchester United, with successor Alfred Schreuder lasting less than a season at the helm. After a third-place finish meant a failure to qualify for the Champions League, the CEO's departure was made official.
