Cardiff boss Mackay plays down Norwich link

Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has ruled out any chance of taking the Norwich City job.

The Scotsman has been heavily linked with the Carrow Road role following fellow countryman Paul Lambert's move to Aston Villa but he has poured cold water on that speculation.

"I'm very flattered to be linked with Norwich as it's a club close to my heart from my playing days there," read an exclusive statement received by Sky Sports News HD.

"I have very good friends within the club and greatly respect Delia Smith and her fellow majority shareholder Michael Wynn Jones.

"Norwich are moving in the right direction but I want to finish the exciting project I've started at Cardiff where we've a structure in place geared to long-term success.

"I've a great relationship with our chief executive Alan Whiteley and the club's owner Vincent Tan is committed to major investment in Cardiff more of which will become apparent later this week.

"I too am fully committed to our football club and I'm ready for the challenges ahead."
