Ajax manager Frank de Boer likes the possibility of becoming Swansea City manager.

In an interview in the Netherlands, de Boer said:

First you have to see what the plan is at a club and what I and the people I would take with me could add to it. The last club I was linked with was Swansea City. I have had no contact with them at this time. But what if these people paint me a pretty picture that they are in that category of clubs with which I could do something beautiful? Like clubs such as Tottenham and Liverpool. Those are the sort of clubs with which you would want to work. But the most important thing would be the feeling I get.

De Boer is a legend in Holland, after making over 100 appearances in the famous orange in his playing career. At club level he also excelled at Ajax and Barcelona.

He stepped straight into management after retiring in 2006, firstly becoming a youth team coach at Ajax and then stepped up as the Netherlands assistant manager shortly after. In 2010 he was then appointed Ajax manager and has led them to a thouroughly successul five years in the Eredivisie – winning the league four years out of five.

It’s evident that de Boer is looking for a move away and in the past has revealed his desire to coach in the Premier League. Swansea could provide that oppurtunity for him.

It’ll be interesting to see if the de Boer links substantiate in the next few days.
