Arne Slot has guided Feyenoord to Eredivisie success in the 2022-23 season
\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Arne Slot says he wants to stay as Feyenoord manager \u2013 ruling himself out of contention for the Tottenham job.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old Dutchman had been heavily linked with a move to Spurs after Antonio Conte\u2019s sacking in March.<\/p>\n

Slot, who led Feyenoord to the 2022-23 Eredivisie title, held talks with the Rotterdam-based club on Wednesday about a potential extension to his contract.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been hearing a lot of rumours going around about other interest in me,\u201d said Slot.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I am thankful, my wish is to stay at Feyenoord and continue working on what we created last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is not \u2013 and there has not been \u2013 transfer conversation and yesterday\u2019s meeting was exclusively for an extension. All talks with the club have always been only in that sense. Looking forward to next season with Feyenoord.\u201d<\/p>\n

After\u00a0Conte\u2019s sacking,\u00a0Cristian Stellini was appointed Spurs interim manager but was\u00a0dismissed after four games.<\/p>\n

Ryan Mason took over as interim boss for a second spell, having previously held the role briefly at the end of the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n

Eighth-place Spurs have since taken just four points from six matches, and play relegation-threatened Leeds in their final game of the campaign on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann was\u00a0previously linked with a move to Tottenham,\u00a0but they did not hold talks with the German.<\/p>\n

They did approach\u00a0Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi,\u00a0according to journalist Guillem Balague, and were linked with Burnley manager Vincent Kompany before he signed a new deal with the Championship winners.<\/p>\n
