Ajax appoint Bosz as new manager

Dutch side Ajax have appointed former Netherlands international midfielder Peter Bosz as their new manager.

The 52-year old has signed a three-year deal and replaces Frank de Boer, who stepped down after six years at the helm when his side were beaten to the Eredivisie title on the final day of last season by PSV Eindhoven.

Bosz is a former player and technical director at arch rivals Feyenoord.

He makes the move to the 33 times Dutch champions from Maccabi Tel Aviv, who he led to a second place finish in the Israeli league and Cup after arriving in January.
