"It’s the first I've heard of it," said the Swansea boss when asked about the links to Watford. "I’ve said to you all along, I'm in a job I’m absolutely loving in a place I’m loving living in and my family are really happy.
"The coaching staff we have and the way we’ve been embraced by everyone here, we’re really happy. We’re enjoying building something, we knew it was going to take some time.
"It would be crazy to even consider doing anything else at the minute. I’ll just control what we can control, which is how we work, how we feel about what we’re doing, how we feel about each other, how we treat people here and the rest is just noise.”
Watford are currently nine points adrift of Premier League safety with only five matches left to play this term. Italy legend and World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro is among those being looked at for the managerial role at the Hertfordshire club. Owner Gino Pozzo is also said to have admiration for the likes of Diego Martinez, Luis Zubeldia, Gerhard Struber, John Eustace and Daniel Farke.
