Edwin van der Sar has resigned from his position as chief executive at Ajax. The 52-year-old former Manchester United, Fulham and Netherlands goalkeeper, who started his playing career at Ajax, has been on the Eredivisie club’s board of directors since 2012. He was initially director of marketing, then became chief executive in 2016, and had been on a contract running to 2025. Van der Sar told the club’s official website: “After almost 11 years on the board, I am done. “We have experienced wonderful things together, but it has also been an incredibly tough period. I am very grateful for the people I have met and worked with during my second career at Ajax, and what we have achieved and been through together. “I feel the need to take some distance, to get some rest, and to do other things. It doesn’t feel good to take decisions about the future of this wonderful club in the coming period. That is why I have decided to resign.” Van der Sar will transfer his duties to the board from June 1, and it has been requested that he formally remains in his position until August 1. After almost 11 years on the board, I am done. I feel the need to take some distance, to get some rest, and to do other things Edwin van der Sar The announcement comes after a trophyless 2022-23 campaign for Ajax that saw them finish third in the Eredivisie. Prior to that, Van der Sar’s time as chief executive had included the club winning three league titles and two Dutch cups under now Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, as well as reaching the Champions League semi-finals in 2018-19. Supervisory board chair Pier Eringa said: “We wanted Edwin to stay, but he had made his decision. We have to respect that. “The last season does not reflect the entire period that he has been in charge of Ajax. The club has seen a lot of success, has seen a lot of growth, and gained international exposure. “His tasks will be transferred to the remaining members of the board. Edwin will be available for the transfer and advise until August. We expect to announce a new board of directors after August 1. It’s our ambition to add someone to the board with an Ajax background.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Chelsea appoint Chris Jurasek as chief exec with Tom Glick also leaving his role A look at the numbers behind England’s opening partnerships Football rumours: Spurs aim to keep reported Manchester United target Harry Kane

Sean Dyche and Dominic Calvert-Lewin dedicated Everton’s 1-0 victory at West Ham to chairman Bill Kenwright. The Toffees were playing their first match since the death of Kenwright on Monday at the age of 78. It was a performance the lifelong Everton fan would surely have been proud of with Calvert-Lewin hitting a superb second-half winner. “Firstly, and you can’t guarantee it, but it’s befitting to win after the week we’ve had following the sad loss of the chairman,” said Toffees boss Dyche. “The players know the depth of the chairman’s love for the club, they’re well aware of that.” Calvert-Lewin revealed the shock of the news affected everyone at Goodison Park. “No-one was prepared for what happened this week and it has saddened everyone at the club. That one was for Bill,” the striker told Sky Sports. “He would have been proud of us and proud of how we won – to get the lead, dig in and work so hard. It was a very good day.” Calvert-Lewin, who has been beset by injuries over the past couple of seasons, looks to be finally getting back to his best. Six minutes into the second half he played a one-two with Jack Harrison, Cruyff-turned away from Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd and hit a low shot past Alphonse Areola. It was his 50th Premier League goal for Everton, joining Romelu Lukaku, Duncan Ferguson and Tim Cahill in reaching the half-century. “Dom’s a very good player who’s had a tough couple of years,” added Dyche. “He’s very close now, you can tell in his body language and it was a fine finish. “He looks stronger, sharper. It is a really good marker for him to get to that number.” A second away win of the season gave Everton a little more breathing space between them and the bottom three. “This is a tough place to come, they’ve proved that over the last couple of years, so it was a very good performance,” said Dyche. “We are improving from last season. I think there are clear signs of that.” For West Ham, it was a third defeat in eight days following reverses at Aston Villa and in the Europa League at Olympiacos. David Moyes picked an attacking line-up, handing Ghana winger Mohammed Kudus his first start in the Premier League, but their only shot on target came in the 90th minute through substitute Said Benrahma. “That would be a problem for us,” said Moyes. “But, let’s be fair, that’s the first game we’ve not scored a goal in this season. “But I agree, I thought we missed chances today, we missed two or three opportunities to score. I don’t think it was ever going to be a game where we had nine or 10 opportunities. I didn’t see it that way for either team.” Read More Aston Villa breeze past Luton to register 12th straight Premier League home win Joao Palhinha’s stunning strike snatches Fulham a point at Brighton Old Trafford pays tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton ahead of Manchester derby Sorry England slump to 100-run defeat against India to add to World Cup woes Liverpool show support for Luis Diaz in victory over Nottingham Forest Francis Ngannou rematch or Oleksandr Usyk showdown? – Tyson Fury’s future plans
