Frank recently hinted that he would be interested in taking over at Tottenham or Liverpool in the future, but Ronald’s latest comments suggest he may have already spurned the opportunity to do so.
Last month Frank said: “Those two clubs are clubs that I think in the future I could be a manager of.
“I think the history of the clubs and what you can do with the team is my cup of tea.
“Tottenham called my manager with the possibility after sacking Villas-Boas but I said, ‘no, right now it’s not the right moment’.”
But Ronald has hinted that the end of the season could prove the right time for his sibling to make the move.
He told talkSPORT: “Frank has already denied Liverpool and Tottenham.
“Tottenham wanted to take him in January, but Frank said no. He also said no to Liverpool last year. He thought he was still not ready and wanted to learn more.
“Now he’s ready though. We’ll have to wait and see [what offers he gets]. It’s important for Frank to get the right club otherwise he won’t leave Ajax. He’s very happy there.”
Frank’s name continues to be linked with the Tottenham job with Tim Sherwood’s future at White Hart Lane far from certain, but the opportunity to take over at Liverpool seems to have passed given the Reds resurgence under Brendan Rodgers.
De Boer has spent three seasons in charge at Ajax, winning the Dutch title every year but it seems his next challenge could come in the Premier League.
