Ronald de Boer: 'Frank de Boer open to managing Liverpool'

Ronald de Boer has revealed that his twin brother Frank de Boer would be interested in managing Liverpool if the opportunity became available, despite turning the club down in 2012.

Ajax boss Frank, who has won four consecutive Eredivisie titles in his native Netherlands, rejected the opportunity to take charge at Anfield before the Reds opted for Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers's job has come under scrutiny following Liverpool's slow start to the season, despite him leading them to within two points of the Premier League title last term.

"If Liverpool come now he would certainly think about it," Ronald de Boer told Fox Sports.

"He would certainly not close the door immediately, like he did two years ago."

Liverpool lost 3-0 at rivals Manchester United on Sunday to leave them 10th in the Premier League table.
