Ajax have sacked assistant coach Dennis Bergkamp and head coach Marcel Keizer.
Fellow assistant Hennie Spijkerman has also been "removed from active duty".
General manager Edwin van der Sar said the decision came following "European elimination" and a poor start to the season.
Ajax sit second in the Dutch league, but exited the Champions League and Europa League in the preliminary rounds and were knocked out of the Dutch Cup on penalties by FC Twente on Wednesday.
Van der Sar added that the club "did not have the confidence that we will reach the levels we seek in the manner in which we have been proceeding" with the trio leading the coaching team.
The club added that with Bergkamp "there is also a difference of opinion about the technical policy to be implemented".
