Jaap Stam 'keen on Fulham job'

Jaap Stam has indicated that he is keen on the vacant manager's job at Fulham, according to reports.

The former Dutch international and ex-Manchester United defender is currently working as coach of Ajax reserve side Jong Ajax, having recently completed his UEFA coaching licence.

Stam, 43, has previously revealed a desire to return to England in a management role, saying: "As soon as I get the opportunity to work in England, I will go for it."

Fulham, who currently sit 17th in the Championship table, are still on the lookout for a new manager following the sacking of Kit Symons last month.

Recently-sacked Swansea City manager Garry Monk has also emerged as a contender for the role.
