Former Chelsea boss Graham Potter has turned down an approach from Ajax over taking charge of the Dutch giants.
The four-time European Cup winners have suffered their worst campaign in living memory this term.
A 6-0 defeat to rivals Feyenoord on Sunday was the lowest point of the campaign, leaving Ajax in sixth in the table.
The club are already planning for next season, with the appointment of a permanent manager a priority.
Potter has been out of work since leaving Chelsea in April 2023, following a scarring period at Stamford Bridge.
The former Brighton coach held talks with Ajax, to discuss the club’s plans and what type of budget he would have in Amsterdam.

But Sky Sports say Potter has turned down the Dutch giants, as he awaits a job in England.
INEOS are said to be admirers of Potter, and have considered him as a replacement for Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Chelsea paid around £20m to extract Potter and his coaching staff from their positions at Brighton, but he is now a free agent.
United would have to pay up the remainder of Ten Hag’s contract, costing around £8m.
