Ajax are ‘considering Pep Lijnders as their next head coach’ with the Liverpool assistant targeting major management position when he leaves Anfield at the end of the season

Lijnders is set to depart Anfield alongside Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season as the Reds prepare for a staffing overhaul and is being targeted by the Dutch giants who are looking for another permanent manager.

John van’t Schip is currently fulfilling the role on an interim basis and has helped turnaround a dreadful first half of the season that saw Ajax flirt with the relegation places before recovering.

The club’s former midfielder will move into a ‘function with technical management’ position in July with a new head coach being brought in.

A new permanent appointment will be made at the end of the season and Ajax believe the Liverpool assistant could be the person to lead them to renewed glories, as reported by The Times.

Lijnders has previously outlined his ambitions to move into the chief dugout role and will be reunited with former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson in Amsterdam if appointed.

The 46-year-old previously departed Liverpool for a spell at Dutch second division side NEC before returning to England and continuing to achieve success alongside Klopp.

The Dutchman first joined Liverpool as academy coach a decade ago before progressing to become the club’s first-team development coach where he began working alongside Klopp.
