Chris Wilder is still interested in the Hearts job – despite claims he was hell-bent on staying in England.
The 55-year-old is on the lookout for a new post having left his position at Watford. Wilder was in charge at Vicarage Road from March after signing a short-term agreement until the end of the season having previously been at Middlesbrough. The ex-Sheffield United gaffer has confessed publicly he still has aspirations to work in the highest echelons of English football.
