His remarks follow Ajax's elimination from the UEFA Cup and press reports in England linking him with a role at Stamford Bridge as assistant to Avram Grant.

Asked about the Chelsea rumours, he told RTV Noord Holland: "I don't want to say more about all the speculation about me and Chelsea. I will be, as normal, on the bench when we meet Sparta (Rotterdam) on Sunday."

Earlier on Friday, The Sun reported that Ten Cate's agent Sigi Lens claimed his client had an "agreement" with Chelsea.

Lens said: "It's true, we have an agreement with Chelsea. It's an opportunity for him, a challenge for him to work with a big team and work with Avram Grant to build a new team. It's a big opportunity for Henk with big players.

"Chelsea have spoken to Henk about the matter. There was a conversation and both the manager (Grant) and Henk are on the same wavelength.

"They invited Henk to a meeting to talk about technical matters and ask how he sees things and how he wants to play and that was good."
