Martin Jol Flattered To Be Linked With Liverpool Job


Reports linking Ajax and former Tottenham Hotspur manager Martin Jol with Liverpool have been welcomed by the Dutchman.

There is speculation that Reds boss Rafael Benitez could be leaving the club in the summer with Juventus reportedly interested, meaning the Anfield job will be vacant.

Jol guided Ajax to a 15-match winning run at the end of the season but it was not enough to win the Eredivisie as Steve McClaren’s FC Twente held onto top spot.

"Liverpool are one of the best clubs in Europe and it is flattering to be linked with them," Jol told the People.

Benitez is holding talks with Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton this week to assess his options for this season.

Regarding his future, Benitez said: "Everyone is asking about my future but the future of the club is more important.

"Still I do not know what is going on in the club. I don't know if we will have any investors so there are a lot of questions - not just, for me, one question.

"For me the club has to answer a lot of questions. We have to wait and see what is going on. The future is maybe tomorrow or maybe one week; at this moment it is something we don't know."
