English professional football manager and former player who was most recently manager of Premier League club Chelsea, Graham Potter has turned down the chance to become the next Ajax head coach.
Sky Sports News report that the former Chelsea and Brighton boss was the prime target for the Dutch club and held talks with them but Potter is not interested in joining Ajax at this time.
In December, we reported the 48-year-old is expected to be high on Manchester United’s shortlist of managerial candidates – if they decide to part company with Erik ten Hag this summer.
Potter has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea in April 2023.
Ajax has been without a permanent head coach since October when Maurice Steijn was sacked.
John Schip has been taking charge of the team on an interim basis.
Ajax were beaten 6-0 at fierce rivals Feyenoord on Sunday and sit sixth in Eredivisie, 33 points off leaders PSV. They were knocked out of the Europa Conference League with a 4-0 loss at Aston Villa last month.
