Hockaday remains confident in Leeds job

David Hockaday is confident his job at Leeds United is safe.

Hockaday survived the axe on the weekend after defeat to Watford.

"I can't even comment on things I have read, what people have said or reportedly said. I had a calm, two-hour conversation with the president on Sunday, we spoke about the game, the defining moment of the game," he said of his meeting with owner Massimo Cellino.

"We talked through players needed and everything and so it wasn't even addressed. It is what it is, I'm here, coaching, I love my role, my players and I am getting a lot out of them.

"I run my life by controlling the controllables. I will manage the game when it's being played, coach my players and anything outside of that is out of my hands.

"I'm just a hard-working guy who loves his job and that's what I will continue to do."
