‘I was told once again…’ – Journalist shares how Arne Slot responded to alleged Ajax ‘enquiry’
A prominent Dutch reporter has claimed that Arne Slot was the subject of an enquiry from Ajax, but the Liverpool head coach has no interest in going to the Amsterdam club at this moment in time.
The 47-year-old has faced intense scrutiny over his position at Anfield amid a bitterly disappointing second season in charge, 12 months on from winning the Premier League at the first attempt, although FSG are expected to keep faith with the former Feyenoord boss into next term.
It would appear that the Reds’ ailing fortunes on the pitch over the past while haven’t deterred the Eredivisie’s most successful club of all time from sounding out LFC about the potential hire of their head coach, although that interest seemingly hasn’t been reciprocated.
Ajax reportedly enquired about Slot
Ajax are currently on the lookout for a new boss to take over from interim coach Oscar Garcia, and Mike Verweij revealed on the De Telegraaf’s Kick-off podcast that Slot was among their list of candidates for the role.
He said (via Soccernews.nl): “I was told once again that they also enquired about Arne Slot. Slot is still very firmly in the saddle; he is simply continuing at Liverpool. I also understood that Arne Slot is not very keen to go to Ajax at this point in his career.”
