Quique Sanchez Flores brushed aside questions about his future following Espanyol's Copa del Rey tie on Thursday night after emerging as the favourite to become the next Stoke manager.
It is understood Flores is the Premier League club's first choice to replace Mark Hughes and that a Stoke delegation met with the former Watford boss in Barcelona on Wednesday.
However, Flores preferred to focus on his side's cup exploits rather than discuss himself after seeing his Espanyol side progress to the quarter-finals after overturning a first-leg deficit with a 2-0 away win over Levante.
Asked if he had received an offer from Stoke, Flores told a post-match press conference as reported by the Spanish media: 'I'm not going to talk about me on such an important day for Espanyol.
