Jaap Stam has resigned as head coach of Feyenoord in the wake of their hefty 4-0 De Klassieker defeat to Ajax in the Eredivisie, to cap off a poor opening run to the season.
The former Manchester United defender succeeded Giovanni van Bronckhorst during the close season but was only able to take three wins from his opening 11 league games to leave them languishing in 12th place.
Sunday's loss was the latest in a string of poor results for the 47-year-old, who signed a two-year contract in June, with his side having been two goals down inside the opening 10 minutes.
