Dennis Bergkamp: 'I have no desire to manage'

Ajax assistant manager Dennis Bergkamp has played down talk that he could be a successor for Garry Monk at Swansea City.

The Dutchman has been linked with the Welsh club this week, and had also been touted as a potential candidate for Championship side Reading earlier this month.

However, the former Arsenal man has ruled out moving into full management as he insisted that he has no desire to lead a club just yet.

The 46-year-old told Voetbal International: "I currently have no ambition to become a head coach. Also, I still have a good job to do at Ajax and I see my role here in the next few years."

Bergkamp scored 201 goals in a 20-year career that saw spells at Ajax, Inter Milan and Arsenal.
