Frank de Boer: 'Brendan Rodgers struggling at Liverpool'

Ajax manager Frank de Boer refuses to discuss speculation linking him with the Liverpool managerial job, insisting that he will not consider it until contacted.

Frank de Boer has insisted that he is fully focused on managing Ajax, amid reports linking him with the Liverpool job.

Current Reds boss Brendan Rodgers's position has been cast into doubt in recent weeks with the club sitting in 11th place in the Premier League table and out of the Champions League at the first hurdle.

De Boer was strongly linked with the job earlier this week after his brother Ronald de Boer claimed that the Dutchman would be open to taking over at the Anfield helm.

Asked if there was any truth in recent reports, the Ajax manager said: "I don't want to talk about Liverpool. Also out of respect to Rodgers, who's had a fantastic season and is struggling now.

"As long as no-one contacts me, I don't want and don't need to think about it. I'm busy with Ajax. And if nobody calls, I'm very happy to stay here. There is still a lot to accomplish. I might decide that anyway. The thought of coaching abroad doesn't tickle me yet."

De Boer has guided Ajax to four consecutive Eredivisie titles during his time at the club.
