On May 19, the Eredivisie giants Ajax Club announced that after leading the team to miss the league championship this season, after careful consideration, the team's coach Francisco Valeoli decided to resign, and Valeoli has informed the club's board of directors of the decision.

In the last round of the Eredivisie that ended yesterday, Ajax still scored 1 point in the final round of the Eredivisie, despite winning the ball, and missed the Eredivisie championship. What makes Ajax fans sigh is that in the 29th round of the league, the team once led second place Eindhoven by 9 points, but in the following 4 rounds of Eredivisie, they only scored 2 points with 2 draws and 2 losses. Eindhoven won all four rounds and scored 12 points. In the end, Eindhoven completed the turn of the standings in just 4 rounds.

When he missed the team to win the championship, Valeoli collapsed and cried in the post-match thanksgiving session, and it was difficult for him to calm down at the press conference. Eventually, he made the decision to resign.

Vareoli, 36, is from Italy. He started his coaching career in 2009. Previously, he coached in many clubs in the Turkish Super League. In mid-2023, he was appointed as Nice head coach, and in the 2023/24 season, he led Nice to fifth place in Ligue 1. In May 2024, Valeoli became the head coach of Ajax, and the two sides signed a contract for three years. Now he has resigned after losing his title for only one year.
