Erik ten Hag is being linked with a surprising return to the Ajax in January after leaving Bayer Leverkusen.
This comes as pressure increases on Ajax coach John Heitinga, a former Liverpool as the team continues to struggle.
No final decision has been made yet but according to Goal, Ten Hag is considered the best choice to take over the club.
Ajax had poor start to the season, losing points in the Eredivisie and suffering heavy losses in European competitions.
The former Manchester United manager was fired by Bayer Leverkusen after only two league games in charge.
Ten Hag had joined the German club in summer shortly after losing his job at United in October.
He took over as Leverkusen’s head coach in May on a two-year contract, replacing Xabi Alonso.
His dismissal after just two matches is the quickest firing of any coach in Bundesliga history, beating the old record of five games.
Ten Hag had reportedly difficulty adapting to the team and meeting immediate expectations, prompting his rapid exit.
The 55-year-old previously coached Ajax between 2018 and 2022 during which Ten Hag achieved great success by winning three league tittles.
His understanding of club's nature, youth development and tactics makes him the best choice to guide the team amid struggling phase.
