The Eredivisie season has wrapped up, with PSV crowned as national champions, but Ajax came agonizingly close to clinching the title themselves. In a dramatic season finale, the Amsterdam side saw the championship slip through their fingers.

Details: The club from Eindhoven surged to the top, taking full advantage of a shocking collapse by Ajax. With just five rounds left, Ajax held a commanding nine-point lead over PSV, but ultimately finished the campaign empty-handed.

Now, Ajax head coach Francesco Farioli has decided to step down. The decision was made after careful reflection, and Farioli has already informed the club’s board of his departure.

For the record: PSV Eindhoven have now claimed their 26th Dutch league title. Francesco Farioli and his Ajax squad have only themselves to blame—losing such an advantage takes some doing.
