Sept 24 (Reuters) - Ajax Amsterdam have parted ways with
their director of football Sven Mislintat with immediate effect,
the Dutch club said on Sunday.
    In May, Ajax appointed Mislintat as the successor to Marc
Overmars but the association proved to be shortlived.
    "Several attempts to restore broad support have not led to
the desired outcome. This leads to unrest in and around the
club, also due to the disappointing results," Ajax interim CEO
Jan van Halst said in a statement.
    Ajax, who finished third last season, are languishing in
14th place in the 18-team Eredivisie with five points from four
matches. 
    They have failed to win a league match since the opening
weekend of the season. On Sunday Ajax had to abandon their home
Eredivisie game after fans started rioting when champions
Feyenoord took a 3-0 lead.
