ROY KEANE IS today again linked with the vacant Leicester City job after Huddersfield manager Lee Clark reportedly decided he’s going nowhere.

TalkSPORT claimed earlier that the former Newcastle manager will remain at the Galpharm Stadium despite interest from the Foxes’ big-spending owners.

And this afternoon Clark has moved to end talk linking him with a move.

“I want to put an end to this speculation – I am not interested in the Leicester vacancy,” he told the Huddersfield website, “All I am interested in is moving forward with the job at hand at Huddersfield Town.

“My staff and I, and most importantly my family, are very happy here; we get looked after unbelievably well by the Club and we really appreciate it.

“My sole focus is on taking Huddersfield Town forward and achieving the goals that we are all so desperate to.”

Local reports suggest that Keane’s former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who lead Norwegian side Molde to their first title last week, is one of the contenders along with former boss Martin O’Neill.

Last night, Keane was on the sidelines at El Madrigal with his former sparring partner Patrick Vieira.

The two enjoyed many midfield battles when with Manchester United and Arsenal respectively but were in relaxed mood in Spain for ITV’s coverage of Manchester City’s win over Villarreal.

It’s a long way from the tunnel at Highbury.
