Lee Johnson 'happy' at Bristol City amid Aston Villa speculation

Bristol City boss Lee Johnson has distanced himself from the vacant Aston Villa manager's job.

Johnson, 35, is reportedly being tracked by Villa as they look to replace Roberto Di Matteo after sacking the Italian on Monday following a poor start to the season.

Caretaker boss Steve Clarke, Brentford manager Dean Smith, Huddersfield's David Wagner and Steve Bruce, who is available after leaving Hull in the summer, are also said to be on the club's wanted list.

Former Oldham boss Johnson only joined the Robins on a three-and-a-half year deal from Barnsley in February and insisted he is happy at Ashton Gate.
