Edwin the Dutchman Van Der Sar who will be remembered as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time has left the director's position at Ajax.

Van Der Sar has held this position since 2016. A year he was part of one of Ajax's greatest successes in the 21st century.

The biggest result that will be remembered for a long time is certainly the semi-final in 2019.

"After almost 11 years in the club board, I am leaving. We went through many things together, there were also difficult periods. I am grateful for the people I met during my stay. At this point I feel I need to distance myself and relax with some other things. "I don't feel it is right for me to make decisions for this club in the future, that's why I decided to leave," said Van Der Sar.

Van Der Sar's departure comes after a bad season for Ajax, who finished third behind champions Feyenoord and PSV in the Dutch championship. The third position from the Netherlands leads to the qualification for the Europa League.
