Ajax sporting director Sven Mislintat has reportedly shocked the players by ‘storming into the dressing room to discuss the dismissal of head coach Maurice Steijn’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This comes after the Dutch side have struggled of late and are winless in four matches.<\/p>\n
Their latest result saw ten-man Ajax draw 3-3 with Marseille in the Europa League group stage, having lost to FC Twente last weekend.<\/p>\n
The pressure is on head coach Steijn, with the latest reports even more troubling for his future.<\/p>\n
As reported by Dutch news outlet De Telegraaf, Mislintat stormed into the dressing room on Saturday and ‘talked about D-day and the possible dismissal of Steijn’.<\/p>\n

Ajax sporting director Sven Mislintat has reportedly shocked the players by ‘storming into the dressing room to discuss the dismissal of head coach Maurice Steijn’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The pressure is on head coach Steijn, with the latest reports even more troubling for his future<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This comes after the Dutch side lost to FC Twente last week<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The head coach was not said to be present during the time of Mislintat’s warning, with ‘several people confirming’ the story.<\/p>\n
The report continues to state that there was not just anger around the staff involved but they were also surprised.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Pier Eringa, the supervisort board chairman told staff that Mislintat would ‘operate from the shadows and no longer be present at matches’.<\/p>\n
However, he since stormed the training room, it is reported, and appeared to be ‘very threatening’.<\/p>\n
The director is also currently under external investigation for ‘conflicts of interest in transfers’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
De Telegraaf finalise by stating that the majority of those at Ajax ‘wanted Mislintat to be suspended pending the investigation’.<\/p>\n
A poor result against Feyenoord on Saturday could see either Mislintat or Steijn leave their roles at the club as the toxicity reaches an all-time high at Ajax.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dutch giants sit 13th in the Eredevisie and will be without captain Steven Bergwijn, who is struggling with an infected wisdom tooth.<\/p>\n
De Telegraaf filaise by saying that despite Mislintat’s involvement not making life easy for Steijn, he still has support of fans and management at the club.<\/p>\n
