AMSTERDAM. — Former Netherlands international Marc Overmars will not be allowed to hold any position in professional football for at least a year due to his inappropriate behaviour towards women at Ajax Amsterdam, the Dutch football association (KNVB) said yesterday.
The KNVB confirmed earlier reports in Dutch newspaper NRC, which quoted world football’s governing body FIFA as saying it had taken over the suspension handed to Overmars in the Netherlands late last year.
Overmars quit his job at Ajax in February 2022, admitting to “unacceptable” behaviour after it emerged within the club that he had sent inappropriate messages and photographs to several women who worked there.
An independent sports tribunal last year banned Overmars from any position in Dutch football for two years over the incidents, with one year suspended. — Reuters.
