The five members of Ajax Amsterdam′s supervisory board have announced their resignation.
“The board is prepared to step down as soon as possible, once suitable successors have been found who can count on broad support,” a press statement said on Thursday.
The decision follows a court ruling on Tuesday which overturned the appointment of Louis van Gaal as CEO by four of the five board members. That decision was taken without the knowledge or consent of the fifth board member, Johan Cruyff, who took the matter to court.
Tomorrow’s extraordinary shareholders meeting, where a vote of confidence on the board was scheduled, has now been cancelled.
Technical manager Danny Blind and interim CEO Martin Sturkenboom have also announced that they are resigning from the club.
