00:00There were reports in the newspaper's article yesterday linking you with the Manchester City job.
00:06I'm sure you know of the situation.
00:09When you hear that, is it a distraction to you or does it not affect you at all when you see your name linked to other jobs?
00:16No, it doesn't affect me at all because I know that it's 100% speculation.
00:21And in this moment there is no time for these kind of things.
00:25First of all, because I have a contract here until 20-29, probably.
00:33And my focus, I said many times, is just about this club and I'm very proud to be here.
00:39But again, it's speculation.
00:42One week ago it was in Italy, the same with Juventus.
00:44So I don't pay attention because I know that it's not true.
00:49Do you have to relay that message to the players?
00:52Because you've got a young group here and if they're seeing their manager linked with potential moves away,
00:59do you have to manage that situation carefully to make sure they're not distracted by that as well?
01:03Again, I think it's just a speculation.
01:06Now it's important to understand the reason why this news was there.
01:12But it's not my job, I don't care at all.
01:14But again, it's just a speculation and I think the players, they are focused on Newcastle game
01:21that is a very important game and very difficult game.
