Erik ten Hag has ended speculation linking him to the Tottenham job by signing a new contract with Ajax.

The 51-year-old was linked with the Spurs job following the departure of Jose Mourinho earlier this month.

The Premier League club were also believed to be interested in RB Leipzig's Julian Nagelsmann but he's set to take charge of Bayern Munich this summer.

Ajax announced on Friday morning that Ten Hag has extended of his contract which previously ran until June 30, 2022.

The new agreement will take effect on July 1st and will run until June 30, 2023.

Ten Hag led Ajax to the Eredivisie title in the 2018/2019 season, won the KNVB Cup and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

The 2019/2020 season was prematurely called to an end due to COVID-19, with Ajax at the top of the table.

This season Ajax finished third in their group in the Champions League and were knocked out of the Europa League by Roma at the quarter-final stage.

Ajax beat Vitesse to win the Dutch Cup earlier this week and need one more point from their remaining four Eredivisie matches to secure their 35th league title.

Tottenham's search for a manager goes on and it's believed they want to make an appointment before the end of the Premier League season.
