Jaap Stam: 'I want to manage in Premier League'

Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has revealed that he wants to one day manage in the Premier League.

The 40-year-old plans to move to Ajax next season as an assistant coach to Frank de Boer following his current coaching role at PEC Zwolle.

"As a player, I started at a reasonably small team and worked my way up," Stam told BBC Sport. "As a coach, I'm going to try to do that as well.

"As an assistant, I'm doing it now. When I get my A licence, maybe I'm going to start as a coach or manager again at a small team and then work my way up to a big team. But my dream is to get back to England."

Stam experienced stints at AC Milan, Lazio and Ajax during his playing career.
