Ajax Amsterdam Fires Coach

Amsterdam – After playing host to relegation-threatened Volendam on Thursday, Ajax Amsterdam made the “sad but necessary choice” to fire coach Alfred Schreuder.

Due to the outcome, the defending champions dropped to fifth position in the standings, seven points behind leaders and sworn enemies Feyenoord.

Although sad, this choice must be made. Despite a strong start to the year, we lost a lot of points, Ajax CEO Edwin van der Sar said on the club’s website.

“Even the football itself seemed unstable. We trusted Alfred to change the course of events and gave him our time.
