The younger of the Dutch twins is leaving Ajax after six years in charge of the Dutch giants and is looking for his next opportunity, having been linked with roles in the Premier League before.

Having led Ajax to four successive Dutch titles, De Boer has been considered by Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle over the past couple of years but this is the first time he has been free to take any job offered to him.

Ronald says that his brother hasn't yet spoken with Everton but admits that Frank would jump at the chance to manage in England. A potential opening for him at Valencia has now been filled leaving the Toffees as the highest profile job available for De Boer to take his next managerial step.

“Frank is keen,” the elder De Boer told the Liverpool Echo. “If he has a chance to be in the Premier League, then he will want to take it.

“Everton are a big club and it would be a challenge, but I know for sure he would take the job if offered. But that's up to the management at Everton. He is probably on their list.

“He has to wait and see what the management does at the club, but I hope he will get the job.

“Frank is more than capable of managing at a club like Everton in the Premier League. As a player and a manager, he has enough experience. But he hasn't spoken to Everton.”

Elsewhere, a reported candidate for the Goodison hot-seat, Swiss coach Lucien Favre, has been unveiled as Nice's new manager, ruling him out of the running.
