da bet7k: Ajax boss Frank de Boer has thanked Liverpool for their interest in him, but has decided to stay at his current club.
The Anfield giants are looking for a new manager after the sacking of Kenny Dalglish, and had identified the former Netherlands defender as a possible replacement.
However, the Eredivisie champions’ head coach is keen to continue at the Amsterdam Arena, and has rejected an opportunity to move to England.
“I am honoured by the request, but I am only just getting started with Ajax,” De Boer told De Telegraaf, translated to English by Sky Sports.
“In Amsterdam we are on a new path and, along with the club and Wim Jonk and Dennis Bergkamp, my colleagues in the technical heart, I want to bring good things.
“That’s why I will stay loyal to Ajax in the coming years.”
De Boer becomes the second person to turn the opportunity down, with Swansea’s Brendan Rodgers having knocked back the opportunity to talk to the Merseysiders last week.
The likes of Roberto Martinez and Andre Villas Boas are thought to be possible contenders for the role, and The Telegraph indicate that Fabio Capello has emerged as a candidate also.
