Arne Slot has rejected an approach from Fulham to become their next manager, talkSPORT understands.

Fulham are looking to make a new appointment amid the departure of Marco Silva, who is heading to Benfica.

Slot became of interest to the Cottagers, but he has turned down the opportunity to move to west London.

talkSPORT reported earlier in the week that Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is interested in the Fulham job.

McKenna has an £8million release clause in his contract at Ipswich due to their promotion to the Premier League.

Former Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank has also been an option.

However, he has ruled out returning to the top flight by insisting he will not take a new job this summer.
