Ajax Football Club has officially terminated the contract of its head coach, Maurice Steijn, with immediate effect. The Eredivisie team made this announcement on their official website on Monday, October 2023. The decision to part ways was mutual, as both parties agreed to it due to a string of poor results.
Currently, Ajax finds itself at the bottom of the league table, marking a historic low for the club. The former league champions have not tasted victory in their last eight matches, putting them 22 points behind the league leaders, PSV. In the Europa League, they currently hold the third position in their group and are at risk of dropping down to the Conference League.
This season, Ajax has managed to secure only one league win while conceding 16 goals. The club’s supporters are undoubtedly hoping for a change in fortunes as they look ahead to the rest of the season.
