Aston Villa's search for a new manager rumbles on, but it won't include Ajax boss Martin Jol, who has ruled himself out of a move.
The former Spurs boss, who snubbed a move to Fulham last month, told Dutch paperAlgemeen Dagblad that he wanted to stay as Ajax boss and lead them to the Dutch title.
"I want to play in the Champions League with Ajax and become champions of the Netherlands. So Villa have to wait therefore," he said.
Goal.com UK revealed last week that the Villa Park board had approached Jol for the position.
Meanwhile, former AZ boss Ronald Koeman has revealed that he is on a shortlist of managers to take over from Martin O'Neill who sensationally quit Villa Park last week, but hasn't had the call yet.
"I'm interested in the position of manager from Villa," he told NOS. "I know that I'm on the list of them. I don't know how many more candidates are on that list. But I haven't had contact yet with Villa."
