Neil Lennon reveals that he is not interested in managing Leicester City and would prefer to stay with Celtic.

Neil Lennon has ruled himself out of the running for the vacant manager's job at Leicester City.

The current Celtic boss, who is one favourites to take over from Sven-Goran Eriksson, spent four years as a Leicester player up until 2000.

Despite being "flattered" by reports linking him with the job at the King Power Stadium, Lennon has revealed that he is keen to stay with his current employers.

"I am not aware of [the speculation]," said Lennon. "I am very flattered, but I have a hell of a job here.

"There is an obvious connection because I played there. It is a great club with a bit of a clout behind it, but I want to stay here."

Lennon became manager of Celtic in June 2010.
