"Fred and I had a conversation about what is best for the club. Together, we agreed that something needs to change. He stepped in during a difficult period and has done everything he could. We are grateful to him for that. Oscar will see out the season. The coming months are very important for the club."
"Fred Grim stepped up from the academy to replace John Heitinga in November. However, Grim oversaw just nine wins from 21 games in charge across all competitions. In the wake of a 3-1 defeat to Groningen, which left them fifth in the Eredivisie, 24 points behind leaders PSV and at risk of missing out on European qualification, Ajax elected to make another change."
Ajax made their third managerial change of the season, replacing Fred Grim with Oscar García, who was promoted from Jong Ajax. Grim, who took over from John Heitinga in November, managed only nine wins from 21 games across all competitions. The decision followed a 3-1 defeat to Groningen that left Ajax fifth in the Eredivisie, 24 points behind leaders PSV and facing potential exclusion from European competition. Technical director Jordi Cruyff acknowledged Grim's efforts during a difficult period but emphasized the need for change. García will oversee Ajax's final eight matches of the season, with Grim returning to his academy role.
