Arne Slot has rebuffed an approach from Fulham to become their new head coach - less than a week after being sacked by Liverpool .

The Dutchman, who won the Premier League during his maiden season at Anfield, was removed from his post last Saturday following an unsatisfactory season campaign at the helm. Andoni Iraola, the impressive outgoing Bournemouth manager, has since been confirmed as Slot's successor, with the 43-year-old signing a two-year contract.

Although Slot's stock has fallen as a result of a disastrous title defence from Liverpool, he remains an attractive option and it has been revealed that Fulham made an instant play for him this week.

However, The Times report that Slot has no interest in the Craven Cottage vacancy and is content to wait for the right work opportunity to present itself following his exit from Anfield.

The 47-year-old has already been mooted as a candidate to take over the Netherlands national team following the World Cup.

Fulham confirmed their current manager, Marco Silva, would be leaving the club following the expiry of his contract earlier this week. He is poised to replace the Real Madrid-bound Jose Mourinho as the head coach of Benfica.

Kieran McKenna is understood to be one of Fulham's other targets to replace Silva, though a deal for the Ipswich Town manager will not come cheap.

McKenna would command a compensation sum of around £8million after guiding Ipswich back to the Premier League.
