Graham Potter Reportedly Declines Ajax Offer Due to Salary Mismatch

Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter has reportedly rejected an offer from Ajax to become their new head coach. The Dutch club failed to meet Potter’s salary expectations, leading to his decision to turn down the opportunity.

Potter, who has been without a managerial role since his departure from Chelsea in 2023, was linked with various clubs including Manchester United and Crystal Palace before Ajax came into the picture. Despite positive discussions with Ajax officials, the financial aspect of the offer did not align with Potter’s requirements.

The 48-year-old, known for his transformative work at Brighton, began his coaching career in Sweden before making a mark in English football. While Ajax sought to secure his services, Potter remains on the lookout for the right managerial position.

Meanwhile, Ajax continues to struggle this season, currently sitting fifth in the Eredivisie table. As they face Volendam in their next fixture, the club’s search for a new manager continues amidst their disappointing campaign.
