de Boer reveals interest from two top Premier League clubs

Ajax boss Frank de Boer says he was approached by both Liverpool and Tottenham for their vacant managerial posts in recent years. "Two years ago, I was very honoured that Liverpool asked me if I was interested in the job," the Dutchman told Sky Sports.

"There was still was other candidates also. But I just signed a new contract and I said you are too early at this moment.

"Tottenham, last year, I was one of the candidates and in the end they chose Pochettino and all respect to the choice. There were two clubs that I was quite interested in.

"I would like to manage in England but also Germany and the Spanish league because they are the three best leagues in the world, so I would like to get that experience."
