AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Ajax Amsterdam have conceded their bid for a record-breaking fifth successive Dutch league title is over but are resetting their sights after progressing in the Europa League, according to coach Frank de Boer. Ajax are the only Dutch team left in European club competition this season after they beat Legia Warsaw 3-0 in Poland on Thursday to advance to the round of 16 with a convincing 4-0 aggregate triumph. However, their hopes of claiming another domestic title are all but finished as they lie 14 points adrift of runaway leaders PSV Eindhoven with 10 rounds of the championship remaining.
"We now have two ambitions," De Boer told Dutch television as Ajax awaited Friday's Europa League draw.
