Grim took over after John Heitinga was fired in November, and with improved ⁠results, the former European ‌champions have decided to leave him ​in charge until the end of the ‍season.

The 60-year-old Grim lost his first three matches ‍in ‌charge in November, but his side are unbeaten since, winning six of seven subsequent ⁠matches and leaving Ajax third in the Dutch league, three points behind second-placed Feyenoord but 16 off runaway leaders PSV Eindhoven.

Ajax will have a new technical director when Jordi Cruyff takes over ⁠next month, and he ‌will lead the search for a new club, reports said.

There was no immediate confirmation from Ajax.
