Ajax club cancels Abdelhak Nouri's contract after waking up from the coma



A few days after he recovered from a prolonged coma, the Dutch club Ajax announced the cancellation of his contract with Moroccan player Abdelhak Nouri, who suffered brain damage after a heart attack during a friendly match in mid-2017.

Reuters quoted Dutch media on Tuesday that Ajax continued to pay Nouri's salary, but he officially canceled the contract, which was to be renewed in July.


The Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf" reported that the club is in talks with the Nouri family, about a future solution to the Dutch player's problem, which he woke up last week from a coma that lasted nearly 3 years.

A long dispute arose between Ajax and the Nouri family, in the search for a settlement of the issue, especially after the club admitted to providing "inadequate" medical care in the field for the player who suddenly collapsed during a friendly match against Werder Bremen in July 2017 in Austria.
Despite his attempts to rescue him on the field, and then transferred him to the hospital, Nouri suffered a serious brain damage as a result of a heart attack during the match.


In 2018, van der Sar, general manager of Ajax, said: "We are aware of our responsibility for the consequences."
Nouri, born in Amsterdam to parents from Morocco, made 15 appearances for Ajax in his first appearance in the 2016-2017 season and is still a teenager, and is now 22 years old.
