Mark Hudson has stated that Cardiff City's reported interest in hiring Neil Warnock as manager is "100 percent not true".
The former Bluebirds boss, who guided City to the Premier League in 2018, was linked with a sensational return to the Welsh capital with pressure mounting on Mark Hudson after a run of seven games without a win.
Warnock, 74, announced his retirement in April last year but this week gave an interview in the Portsmouth News stating that a short-term role could interest him.
However, when quizzed about Warnock potentially coming back, Hudson was quick to rule out the prospect after speaking with the board following the speculation.
"I've spoken to them behind the scenes and it's 100 per cent not true," Hudson said. "I know my job is to get results regardless of speculation of any situation where we are.
"Spoke to the chairman yesterday (Wednesday) and told there were rumours. That's part and parcel of football, but 100 per cent it's not Neil Warnock in that respect. My job is to concentrate and then look forward to a big game against Wigan.
"I've been in football a long time. Speculation is speculation and it will not deter my focus from what the job is.
"That is something I will continue to do - and that was put to bed yesterday."
Cardiff are next in action when they take on Leeds United in the FA Cup on Sunday.
