John Heitinga has left his role as Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach just 33 days after being appointed.
The former defender was appointed to Thomas Frank's backroom staff last month after his Ajax departure in November.

Heitinga lasted just five months at the Johann Cruyff Arena having been shown the exit following a 3-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League.
The Dutchman was tipped to be named interim coach following Frank's Spurs exit in the wake of their 2-1 loss to Newcastle last week.
However, former Juventus boss Igor Tudor was named Frank's successor until the end of the season over the weekend.

Justin Cochrane, Chris Haslam and analyst Joe Newton have also been dismissed as part of a backroom reshuffle.
In their place, Ivan Javorcic is set to come in as assistant coach, Riccardo Raganacci as physical coach and Tomislav Rogic as goalkeeping coach, though their respective appointments are subject to work permits.
Tudor took over the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium reins over the weekend as Spurs look to beat the drop.
The north London side are currently just five points above the relegation zone having won only two of their last 17 league matches.
The 47-year-old, though, insists it is an 'honour' to take over as Spurs head coach.
To Dare is Tudor
"It is an honour to join this club at an important moment," Tudor told the club's official website.

"I understand the responsibility I have been handed and my focus is clear. To bring greater consistency to our performances and compete with conviction in every match.
"There is strong quality in this playing squad, and my job is to organise it, energise it and improve our results quickly."
The former Juventus, Marseille and Lazio boss has a tough start to life at Tottenham, however.
Tudor's first game in charge is the welcome of north London rivals Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners sit top of the Premier League, four points clear of Manchester City, and can extend their lead when they face Wolves at Molineux on Wednesday night, live on talkSPORT.

Spurs then travel across the capital to Fulham at the start of March before league meetings with Crystal Palace, Liverpool and relegation rivals Nottingham Forest before the next international break.
Additionally, Spurs have Champions League last-16 ties in March, where they'll face either Juventus, Galatasaray, Atletico Madrid or Club Brugge once the play-offs have been completed later this month.
