Darko Milanic has insisted that he is "100% focused" on his current position in charge of SK Sturm amid reported interest from Leeds United.

The 46-year-old has been strongly tipped to take over the vacant Elland Road managerial hotseat following the dismissal of Dave Hockaday last month.

Neil Redfearn has taken temporary control of the Championship club, but president Massimo Cellino is said to be keen on recruiting a more experienced coach, with Milanic one of the names in the hat.

However, in the midst of recent speculation, the former Maribor coach said: "In football there are always rumours but to me there is no offer from another club. I'm 100 per cent focused on SK Sturm."

Cellino yesterday announced that he is "working hard" to find a new manager.
