Huddersfield manager Wagner dismisses Leicester link

Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner has played down reports that have suggested he could replace Claude Puel at Leicester City.

The Foxes manager has seemingly lost the trust of his players in recent weeks and it is believed he will be relinquished of his role at the end of the season.

But when asked if he would be the man to replace Puel, Wagner reaffirmed his loyalty to the Terriers.

"It's totally easy because I know what the truth is and what isn't," said Wagner. "You have to speak and write about it and I know exactly what the truth is.

"The truth is I have a clear commitment with (chairman) Dean (Hoyle) and I will follow it like I have done last year and this is exactly the same as I'll do this year.

"This is why I can easily deal with it. No problem for me."
