Championship outfit Brentford deny that manager Mark Warburton will leave in the summer.
It's been reported Brentford have held talks with Rayo Vallecano coach Paco Jemez about the manager's job at Griffin Park.
But Brentford said in a statement:
"As with every other sensibly run club, we plan for various possible eventualities.
"We are a progressive club who do talk to other people within the game to learn about other ways of doing things, and to consider novel strategic approaches to the game. Those conversations continue internally, and are part of a healthy dialogue.
"Football is sometimes called a village, and in any village, gossip and rumours can spread like wildfire, whether or not such rumours are true. It would not be in the club's interests to disclose any of those discussions, but Brentford want to confirm that Mark Warburton remains our manager."
