Slavia Prague president Jaroslav Tvrdík has insisted his manager Jindřich Trpisovsky is happy at the Czech club after he was linked with a shock move to Celtic.
And Trpisovsky's agent has backed him up by stressing he's going nowhere.
The 47-year-old led Slavia to three Czech titles in a row and was strongly linked to Parkhead before Celtic swooped for Ange Postecoglou two years ago instead.
However, Slavia were only runners-up this season as rivals Sparta Prague won their first title for nine years.
But he's back in the betting markets as a possible contender to replace the Australian.
And Slavia president Tvrdík has even gone out of his way to assure the club's supporters that his manager won't be going to Glasgow.
He said: "Jindřich Trpisovsky is on vacation and his agent is in Turkey for the Champions League Final.
"Slavia is not dealing with his release from the valid contract, nor looking for a replacement manager."
And Trpisovsky's agent, Jiri Muller, said: "In recent years, we have been pleased by the interest of clubs and national teams in the possible services of Jindřich Trpisovsky and his staff.
"But his heart is now red and white and he is looking forward to the next big challenges with Slavia."

Trpisovsky - whose team knocked Rangers out of the Europa League in 2021 - has been with Slavia for five years and just signed a new deal with the Prague clun until 2026.
He's previously rejected offers from Besiktas, Lokomotiv Moscow, Olympiakos and Nottingham Forest.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
