Mired in one of the deepest crises in its history, which prompted him to dismiss one of its senior officials as a result of his wavering in fourth place

Tenth in the domestic league, which led to the "revolution" of his fans in the stands.

And an objection to the situation that the team that has won the Champions League title four times is going through, but the last one dates back to a year

1995, the crowd caused a stoppage of the top of the sixth stage of the league against his guest and rival Feyenoord, the defending champion, after less

A little over an hour after its launch due to the throwing of fireworks.

The referee Serdar gozubyuk ordered both teams to return to the dressing rooms for the second time, after throwing fireworks at

The stadium floor is laid by the fans of the home team.

The referee stopped the game for the first time before the end of the first half for the same reason, and before that the game was stopped briefly after throwing

A glass is on the playing field.

According to the news agency "ANP" and many local media, events broke out outside the stadium, forcing the police

To intervene. The main entrance gate of the Johan Cruyff Stadium was destroyed, according to photos posted on social networks Social.

Feyenoord were leading 3-0 when the match was stopped, which reflects the picture of the situation experienced by the club most crowned with the league title

The Dutchman (36).

The headline on the website of the Supporters ' Association was quite expressive, where it was written "the club is on fire," describing the stoppage of a match

The clasiker against Feyenoord is a "low point in the crisis" for a team that introduced to the world legends like the late Johan Cruyff.

Feyenoord's third goal was especially embarrassing, as blundering and defensive misunderstandings caused the incursion of Mexican Santiago

Jimenez almost the entire length of the court without any deterrence, before passing the ball to the Brazilian Igor baishao.

NRC considered that the match "symbolizes the existential crisis in which Ajax finds itself".

And no sooner did the smoke clear from above the stadium "Johan Cruyff Arena" after the firecrackers thrown by the audience, until he issued

The club issued a shocking statement, according to which the club's football manager Sven meslintat was dismissed "with immediate effect".

The fan club commented on the move on its website by saying that "painful reports are coming thick and fast, "adding that" it is clear that

"There are disturbances at the club, not only on the pitch but also on the administrative side.

Mislintat was the subject of an external investigation due to a possible conflict of interest, over an eight million euro transfer deal

In the last moments of the summer transfer market.

The club denied that the dismissal had anything to do with the investigation, citing a "lack of broad support within the organization" as the reason behind the decision.

But even the announcement itself was a failure, as the initial dry statement was hastily replaced by another thanking Mislintat for the " effort

Phenomenal " during his four-month spell at Ajax.

The Dutch press talked a lot about a power struggle in the club.

It was reported that Mislintat stormed the training ground while the players were preparing for the Feyenoord match, calling it a "decisive day" and that the coach

Maurice Stein, who is under criticism, faces the threat of dismissal if Ajax loses the"classic"match.

In the end, it was Mislintat himself who lost his job, but there is also a lot of pressure on Stein in order to change things.

There is speculation about who could replace him and club legend Louis van Gaal has ruled himself out, saying that the priority is

To take care of his health, referring to his recovery from prostate cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2020.

Interim CEO Jan van halst, who is also a target of angry fans, has made no secret that the club is going through a crisis

"It's a very difficult period," he said. I wish it was easier to press the key and change things".

"It's chaos, total chaos," said Dutch football expert Jaap stallenberg, adding, "they are struggling everywhere. In

The stadium and beyond. They need a dictator-a strong leader to come and sort things out".
