Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal has ruled out the possibility of taking over at Tottenham Hotspur before the 2014 World Cup.
The 62-year-old has been linked with succeeding Andre Villas-Boas at White Hart Lane, but said that he will not do two jobs at once as he prepares to take his nation to next summer's finals in Brazil.
"Everyone who knows me knows I won't do two jobs at the same time," the former Bayern Munich boss told Dutch broadcasters NOS.
"I've always said that I want to work in the Premier League, so there's a chance, but I've also read that Frank de Boer and Guus Hiddink were in the picture."
Van Gaal's contract with the KNVB expires in the summer.
