Marc Overmars will leave his position as Ajax's Director of Football Affairs after sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues, the Dutch football club announced on Sunday.
The 48-year-old former Dutch international -- who played for Ajax, Arsenal, and Barcelona, among others, during his playing career -- had held the role since 2012.
Overmars had told the club's Supervisory Board and CEO Edwin Van Der Sar of his desire to quit following discussions over the last few days, his departure confirmed with "immediate effect," according to a statement released by Ajax.
