Leicester manager Puel dismisses sack talk

Leicester City manager Claude Puel insists he's in no trouble of losing his job.

The Frenchman is the bookmakers favourite to become the first Premier League manager sacked.

Puel said: "It's just speculation. I would be happy for my successor, because he would have a good team, a good squad, with good basics, a good intensity and a good mentality, all perfect for him.

"I can't comment on speculation. I don't bet and I don't do the lottery - it's not my way.

"My job is to build something with Leicester; to continue to develop this club, to develop the players and the squad. After this, if people are angry or not satisfied, that is my concern.

"It is not the first time, it will not be the last."
