Ajax Amsterdam have named Marc
Overmars as technical director to complete their three-man board
of directors, the Dutch club said on Friday.
The 39-year old former Ajax, Arsenal and Barcelona player
will be responsible for transfers, the club's youth department
and scouting. He joins Henri van der Aat and Jeroen Slop on the
board of directors.
The appointment of Overmars, who won 86 caps for
Netherlands, marks the end of an unsettled period for the
champions during which several court cases forced the board of
commissioners, including Johan Cruff and Edgar Davids, to step
down.
