KIDDERMINSTER Harriers boss Mark Yates insists that he is not interested in returning to League One side Cheltenham Town as their new manager.
The Robins were left looking for a new chief after former Wolverhampton Wanderers assistant manager John Ward left on Tuesday night to take charge of Carlisle United.
And the Aggborough chief, a former Whaddon Road skipper, has been suggested as a possible candidate to takeover the hotseat at the Gloucestershire club.
"I didn't even know that he had left," claimed Yates, who played under Ward before leaving for Burnley in 2004.
"To be honest the Cheltenham job is no concern of mine."
The Harriers manager is one of several names to have been linked with the job in the past 24 hours, with former Leicester City chief Martin Allen, whose father Dennis was in charge at Whaddon Road in the 1970s, early favourite for the post.
