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.
A CIA assessment circulated among US officials this week concluded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu likely judges he can get away without defining a post-war plan — even as the Biden administration has launched a full-court press to pressure him to bring an end to the conflict in Gaza.
