John Heitinga has left his role as Liverpool's assistant boss to return to Dutch club Ajax as their head coach.
The former Netherlands defender made more than 200 appearances for Ajax before having spells as their reserve team boss and interim head coach.
The 41-year-old has rejoined the club on a two-year contract and will be assisted by another Ajax academy product, Marcel Keizer.
Heitinga succeeds Francesco Farioli, who left Ajax last week after his sole year in charge ended with an end-of-season collapse.
With seven games left Farioli's team were nine points clear at the top of the Eredivisie, but ended up finishing a point behind champions PSV Eindhoven.
