Last Thursday, trainer John Heitinga was fired. Technical director Alex Kroes announced that he would also make his position available. At the request of the management and the Supervisory Board, Kroes will remain in office until a successor is found for him.
Technical commissioner Danny Blind also announced his departure. A return of Marc Overmars is not a serious option.
Three times national champion

After Ajax he became coach of Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen.
