Former Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has ruled out a return to the struggling Championship club.
Warnock, 74, was Cardiff boss for three years and guided the Welsh club to promotion to the Premier League in 2018.
The 74-year-old, who left Middlesbrough in November 2021, does not plan to come out of retirement to succeed Mark Hudson as Bluebirds boss.
"I've not spoken to anybody there," Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"Everybody thinks it's already been cut and dried - no chance.
"You'll see when they appoint a manager next week - they've got to appoint somebody this week or early next week.
