Tottenham Hotspur have sought to distance themselves from reports they have contacted Ajax over coach Frank de Boer.
The Dutch champions confirmed that Spurs had been in touch to enquire about De Boer's availability, but Tottenham have insisted they have not made an approach to any other club.
"Reports that we have made approaches to other clubs regarding coaching staff are wholly inaccurate", a Tottenham spokesman told the BBC.
"We've not contacted any club regarding coaching appointments. We regret that a statement such as this is necessary", they added.
