Thanks But No Thanks: Ex-Vodafone Head Not Interested In Yahoo CEO Post After All

Last week, we reported that Arun Sarin was showing strong interest in Yahoo’s now-available CEO position, and this morning we reported that private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts has asked him to join as a partner. Now what’s the word? The Financial Times says the former Vodafone chief is no longer interested in succeeding Jerry Yang, partly because of the possibility of Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) being dismembered. Sarin is instead exploring other options, such as the post with KKR. Peter Chernin, president and COO of News Corp., expressed disinterest earlier this month and is still working out his contract with News, which is set to expire in June. Whose name will be floated next?
