Aberdeen boss Jimmy Calderwood says he has no intention of quitting the Dons for managerless Championship outfit Leicester.Calderwood and his assistant Jimmy Nicholl have been linked with a move south after Leicester parted company with Martin Allen.
However, the former Dunfermline boss told fans of the Pittodrie club he would still be in charge for the UEFA Cup clash with Ukranian outfit Dnipro at the end of the month, but admitted he would need assurances from the board over the long-term direction of the club.
Calderwood told the Daily Record: "Jimmy Nicholl and I love this club and fully expect to be here when we return to Europe and beyond.
"You can never be certain about what is around the corner but we're happy in our jobs and not planning to leave in a hurry.
"This sort of speculation goes on in football all the time. Of course, it's flattering but that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned.
"However, we need to know how far we can go. To keep moving forward, it is vital that we keep players like Michael Hart, Barry Nicholson and Chris Clark.
"We must find out if the finances are in place to keep our best players and build on what has been achieved so far.
"I just need to know what the ambitions of the directors are and Willie Miller (director of football) is aware of this."
