Former Ajax Director and Businessman Dolf Collee Passed Away on Saturday at the Age of 72 After an Illness. The Family Reported This To The Amsterdam Club On Monday.
Collee was the General Manager of Ajax from September 2015 to November 2016. Initially, Edwin van der Sar was the intended general manager, but due to unrest within the club, he first wanted to gain a year of experience with Collee. The Director was then a Member of the Supervisory Board. Van der Sar Succeded Collee As General Manager A Year later.
There Were Several Problems at Ajax Turning That Period. The Amsterdam Club had Been Without A General Manager for Three Months After The Departure of Michael Kinsbergen, and There Were also Problems in the Technical Heart.
Head of Training Wim Jonk on the One Hand and Assistant Coach Dennis Bergkamp and Director of Football Affairs Marc Overmars on the Other Were Engaged in a Power Struggle over the Course of Ajax. It just gets used so far that the two camps no longer communicated with each other. Ultimately, Jonk Stepped Down.
Before Joining Ajax, Collee Worked for ABN AMRO for Many Years. First he was a banker and later he Became a top executive of the bank. He was also an advisor to Several Large Companies, Including Hema.
After Leaving Ajax, Collee No Longer Held Any Administrative Positions and Retreated Into Anonymity.
