It’s said that Potter had been in discussion with senior officials at the club with a view to replacing under-performing manager John van ‘t Schip in Amsterdam.
But Sky Sports have claimed that the 48-year-old has decided to turn down the opportunity and is not interested in taking up the role as Ajax manager at this time.
Ajax have had a turbulent season and are currently struggling behind the pack in the Eredivisie in sixth place.
Their season hit a new low at the weekend when they suffered a 6-0 defeat to rivals Feyenoord.
Potter himself has been out of a job since April of last year when he was sacked by Chelsea after seven months in charge at Stamford Bridge.
His snub comes amid rumours linking him with a return to Premier League management with Manchester United understood to be considering him as one of their potential replacements for Erik ten Hag.
