Marc Overmars has made an immediate return to football just weeks after leaving Ajax following his role in a sexting scandal.
The former Arsenal winger left his position as director of football at the Dutch club at the beginning of last month after admitting sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues. Overmars had only recently penned a new deal with Ajax which committed him to the club until 2026 but hastily resigned from his post after news of the scandal went public.
The married 48-year-old admitted he was "ashamed" by his behaviour in a statement on Ajax's website confirming his departure. "Unfortunately, I didn't realise that I was crossing the line with this, but that was made clear to me in recent days," he said.
