Ghana international Mohammed Kudus is expected to work under new manager at Ajax following the sacking of Alfred Schreuder.
The Dutch giants parted company with Schreuder after their 1-1 stalemate against Volendam in the Eredivise.
Kudus rescued Ajax from defeat after climbing off the bench to grab the equalizer against their opponent on Thursday night at the Johan Cruijff Arena.
But that wasn’t enough to salvage Alfred Schreuder’s job.
Ajax cited points lost and the team's lack of development as the main reasons for the decision to terminate Schreuder's contract. Shreuder leaves with assistant manager Matthias Kaltenbach.
"It is a painful decision, but also a necessary one. After a good start to the season, we then lost an unnecessary number of points. The game was also volatile.

"In recent weeks it became increasingly clear that he could not turn the tide, while we believe that despite the many transfers he had a strong and championship worthy squad at his disposal. have also lost a lot of points in recent weeks and unfortunately we did not see any progress."
Schreuder replaced Erik ten Hag who joined Manchester United last summer.
