Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that Patrick Kluivert has left his role as director of football after less than a year.

The Dutchman joined the club on July 14 last year but PSG announced on Friday that they had mutually agreed a deal to end Kluivert's contract.

PSG said the move came as part of a "restructuring of the club's sporting sector", with the former Barcelona and Ajax striker now leaving the Parc des Princes.

"As part of the restructuring of the club's sporting sector, the two parties ended their collaboration on Wednesday.
