Henrik Larsson has dismissed reports linking him with the managers’ job at Blackburn.
The LBoIS boss was reported to be on a lengthy short-list compiled by the club as they look for a successor to Stevie Kean who resigned eight days ago.
Former Blackburn favourites Tim Sherwood and Alan Shearer have also been linked with the vacancy with Larsson denying any deal with the Championship outfit.
“I haven’t had any contact with any other club at this point,” he said. “I don’t know how that rumour with Blackburn came up, because I don’t have any connections to the club.”
“I don’t have any contact at all with Eric Black. I had him for a brief spell at Celtic, he was caretaker manager there before Jozef Venglos came in and took over.”
Larsson added: “I have dreams as a manager as well as I had as a player. I want to be as good as possible and I want to be on the highest level.
“At this time no-one has approached me and I can’t afford to sit here and say I won’t do that and I won’t do that.
“I mean, if anybody’s contacting me then I have to have a look at it and see if it’s something that appeals to me, or if it’s possible with the family and everything.”
LBoIS are currently sitting in seventh place in the 16 club Swedish Second Division with last week’s 1-0 win at home to Angelholm ending a five match losing run which killed off any hopes of securing a play-off place.
