Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey is set to work under a new manager following the sacking of coach Alfred Schreuder.

The Dutch manager has been under immense pressure in recent times following a run of poor results.

The club management finally decided to call time on his rein with the Eredivisie champions following their 1-1 draw against Volendam on Thursday, January 26.

In a statement, the club wrote: “Ajax has immediately suspended Alfred Schreuder. The trainer's contract was valid until June 30, 2024, but will now be terminated immediately. The many points lost and the team's lack of development are the main reasons for this decision.

“The club management no longer has confidence in further cooperation. The collaboration with assistant coach Matthias Kaltenbach will also be terminated.”

The club is set to appoint a new manager in the coming days.
