Jim Goodwin has knocked back potential English interest because he is fully focused on keeping Dundee United up.
The Irishman’s agent had been sounded out about possible interest from an English club but he dismissed that out of hand. Goodwin has agreed to take over the Tannadice hotseat until the summer and he knows if he keeps United in the top flight he will have an ever greater chance of landing the role in the long-term.
Goodwin said: “A club had contact about my agent and asked about my situation. I told my agent that I’m fully focused on Dundee United for now. That will remain the case until the end of the season. I don’t want any distractions for myself or the team. I’m thoroughly enjoying my time at United. It has been a great opportunity for me as well to make amends for what happened at Aberdeen.
