Ajax Amsterdam‘s current head coach has been kidnapped by a group of criminals who were arrested and confirmed to be his former sacked players.

The Dutch team is now second from the bottom of the league after a chaotic start to the season. Ajax came in third place the previous season, but they have only managed to win once in their first seven games this year, giving up 16 goals.

At the moment, Ajax is ranked third in the Europa League standings and 17th in the Eredivisie.

Ajax revealed in a statement on Monday that Steijn had decided to resign effective immediately.

“Ajax and John will part ways with immediate effect,” the statement stated. Steijn and the club administration have decided that the coach will resign. This summer, Steijn (Den Haag, November 20, 1973) moved to Ajax from Sparta Rotterdam, where he signed a deal that would last until June 30, 2026.

“We have worked intensely and professionally together over the last few months,” Ajax Chief Executive Jan van Halst stated. However, the team’s growth and athletic accomplishments were inadequate.

We made the decision to get together again today for that reason. This time, Maurice also acknowledged his doubts about his suitability for the situation. We both agreed that it would be best to go our separate ways. Hedwiges Maduro will hold the position for the foreseeable future.
