Dutch club Ajax parts ways with Oscar Garcia after a turbulent season of coaching changes
AMSTERDAM — Ajax parted ways with coach Oscar Garcia on Sunday after a turbulent season in which the Dutch club finished fifth in Eredivisie.
In a statement, Ajax said it “mutually agreed to terminate the coach’s contract,” which had one year remaining.
In March, the 53-year-old Garcia came out of his role with the Under-23 side to replace coach Fred Grim, who was sent back to work at the Ajax academy.
Grim had been made first-team coach after John Heitinga was fired last November. Heitinga was appointed following the resignation of Francesco Farioli last May.
