According to Dutch media, Ajax have made an audacious enquiry for under-fire Liverpool manager Arne Slot as the Amsterdam giants continue their search for a permanent head coach.

The startling revelation comes from Mike Verweij of De Telegraaf, who revealed that the Eredivisie club reached out to the 47-year-old tactician despite his current role at Anfield.

However, the approach was reportedly met with a swift and decisive refusal from the Liverpool boss.

Arne Slot turns down enquiry from Ajax

Speaking on the Kick-off podcast, Verweij detailed the exchange, noting that Slot remains committed to his long-term project on Merseyside.

“I was told again that they also informed Arne Slot,” Verweij said (quotes via Soccer News).

“Slot is still very firmly in the saddle; he will continue at Liverpool. I also understood that Arne Slot is not very keen to go to Ajax at this time in his career.”

Liverpool insist to continue with Arne Slot next season despite horrible season

The enquiry from Ajax highlights a paradoxical situation at Anfield.

Liverpool have endured a torrid 2025/26 campaign, recently suffering a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United, a result that marked their 11th league loss of the season and left them 18 points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

Despite breaking a 113-year-old record for home-and-away losses to both Manchester clubs in a single season, the Liverpool hierarchy reportedly remains behind their manager.

Unlike the chaotic managerial revolving door at Ajax, who are searching for their fourth permanent manager in three seasons, FSG appear determined to allow Slot the time to fix the current situation.

While he has lost the support of the fans, winning the Premier League title just 12 months ago seems to have bought him the time to oversee a rebuild next season.

For now, the Dutch giants will have to look elsewhere, with Girona’s Míchel now emerging as the favorite to take the hot seat at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
