Jaap Stam: 'I want to manage in England'

Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has said that he wants to manage a club in England.

The 43-year-old has coached the Ajax reserve team since 2014, and revealed that he has already been approached by English clubs.

"As soon as I get the opportunity to work in England, I will go for it," Stam told reporters.

"There has been some interest already, but that's all I can say. Of course, I still have to prove myself at the top level.

"Now I am ready to get a job with a club on my own."

Stam played for United between 1998 and 2001 and won the 1999 Champions League.
