Riot police later had to use tear gas to drive back Ajax fans who tried to breach the main entrance to the stadium and smashed open a glass revolving door.

Last week the club ordered an independent investigation by a forensic accountant into the purchase of Croatian defender Borna Sosa, whose agent has a stake in a data analysis company founded by Mislintat.

The investigation focuses on whether Mislintat’s business relationship with the agent, Arthur Beck, breached conflict of interest rules.

Mislintat had been told to step back from his duties and stay away from the stadium during the investigation into his affairs, but was not suspended. The Telegraaf reported that the club feared legal reprisals from the German, who had only been appointed in May.

The newspaper also claimed that Mislintat had stormed into Ajax’s training complex on Friday demanding the sacking of head coach Maurice Steijn following the previous weekend’s 3-1 defeat to Twente Enschede. The result cemented Ajax’s worst start to a league season in 59 years.

Meanwhile, former head coach Louis van Gaal has dismissed speculation that he could return in a temporary capacity until the situation at the club is stabilised.

The 72-year-old, who won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995, is currently undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. “My health comes first,” he said.
