Ten Hag was slated for a quick return to management with Dortmund just three months after being sacked by Manchester United, but Mail Sport understands he is not in contention.

Further discussions were held between him and the club on Wednesday but he claims he does not want to take another job until the summer. Mail Sport also understands that he is still being paid by United as compensation for his termination. He managed Bayern's B team between 2013 and 2015 while Pep Guardiola led the club, even assuming the moniker 'mini Pep'.
