Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a blow in their search for a new manager after Ajax decided to offer Erik ten Hag a new deal.
His home? Amsterdam… ❌❌❌

Spurs were in talks with the Eredivisie boss and he had emerged top of chairman Daniel Levy’s list after Bayern Munich pipped him to RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann.
The North Londoners will now have to turn their attention elsewhere as they look for Jose Mourinho’s replacement, and Sky Sports journalist and Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on their search:
Ten Hag has extended his contract with Ajax – he has *not* turned down Tottenham.#THFC board decided to take a step back after talking with ten Hag in the last 48 hours and being aware of Ajax intention to trigger the one-year option. Tottenham will meet other managers soon.
