“Several attempts to restore broad support have not led to the desired outcome.

This leads to unrest in and around the club, also due to the disappointing results,” Ajax interim CEO Jan van Halst said in a statement.

With five points from four games, Ajax, who placed third last season, is mired in 14th position in the 18-team Eredivisie.
