De Boer reveals Spurs interest

Ajax boss Frank de Boer says is interested in taking over as Tottenham manager at the end of the season.

After an illustrious playing career, the former Netherlands international has become a successful manager with the Dutch club whose fabled youth system he graduated from.

De Boer, who went on to play at Barcelona, Galatasaray, Rangers and then in Qatar, returned to Ajax as a coach following his retirement and has been first-team manager since 2010.

At the weekend he led the Amsterdam giants to a fourth-successive Eredivisie title, further harnessing a burgeoning reputation that has often seen him linked with a move away.

Tottenham and Monaco have been mentioned as potential summer destinations and De Boer has confirmed an interest in moving to White Hart Lane.

“I’m going to think about this possibility after the last league fixture on May 3,” De Boer said. “I’m going to talk and listen.

“I would like to add something to a club, that people can say they see the hand of Frank de Boer.”
