Ajax have approached Jordi Cruyff over their vacant director of football position as they ramp up their search for Marc Overmars' successor.
Overmars, 48, resigned from his role with the Dutch giants in early February after admitting he had sent sexually inappropriate messages to other members of staff.
The former Arsenal and Netherlands winger had been in the role since 2012 and signed a new contract until 2026 shortly before leaving his post.
