AJAX HAVE ANNOUNCED manager Frank de Boer has left the club after agreeing an early termination to his contract at the Amsterdam Arena.
The 45-year-old was in charge of the club for five-and-a-half seasons after taking over from Martin Jol in December 2010.
De Boer led Ajax to four consecutive Eredivisie titles in a stunning start to his reign, but lost out to PSV in each of the last two seasons.
The 2015-16 campaign came to a painful conclusion as Ajax lost out on the title despite being top of the table going into the last week of the season, when their shock 1-1 draw at second-bottom De Graafschap gifted PSV the league.
The former Netherlands international’s agent Guido Albers recently revealed his client would “love to manage Everton or Valencia” – two of the teams he has been linked with joining.
De Boer’s Ajax contract had been due to expire in July 2017.

Great win, the last frame was brilliant,fair play to him.
Fair play. Seems like a nice humble chap too.
Super win for Jordan. Such a solid performance and a great story of persistence & self belief. Ronnie made a lovely speech complimenting him as well.
@Geraldine Lavin: Ronnie also said anyone outside the top 50 were useless and he could still beat them if he had a limb missing
A great match,he deserved the win,hard to believe he was on the verge of packing it in five years ago while working in a petrol station
Nice to see tge underdog winning
Fair play to him. Great to have on his cv and even better to have beaten ronnie in a final frame.
