Head coach Francesco Farioli departs Ajax in the wake of an end-of-season collapse that cost them the Eredivisie title.

Ajax wanted their 125th year to be memorable. Unfortunately, this campaign will remain tattooed brutally into the team's soul.

Ajax held a nine-point lead at the end of March, but PSV Eindhoven pipped them to the Eredivisie title. Former midfielder Wim Jonk tells BBC Sport about how it all unfolded.

Moroccan has career-best 55 appearances this seasonBelieves Europa League ‘fighting spirit’ absent in league Noussair Mazraoui has revealed that cutting out fizzy drinks has helped him to make 55 Manchester United appearances this season, the most of the defender’s eight-year career. Mazraoui’s 48 games for Ajax in 2018-19 constituted his previous highest number.

Recalled England midfielder discusses his last-minute dash, as a fan, to the Euro 2024 final – and his World Cup dream Jordan Henderson wanted to be part of it. He felt he deserved to be part of it. And so, despite the obstacles, he put in the hard yards to make it happen. It has been a theme of the Ajax midfielder’s career and it resonates once again with him back in the England squad, winning his 81st cap as a substitute in Thomas Tuchel’s first game as head coach – the 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Albania on Friday night. The more sideways take on it came last summer. Henderson was devastated to have been overlooked by Gareth Southgate for Euro 2024 in Germany, having been involved throughout qualification. The determining factor was the muscle injury he picked up last March, which sidelined him for the best part of two months and did not give him the time to get fully fit at the end of the domestic season. That was how Southgate sold it, anyway. Continue reading...
