Kilmarnock manager Alex Dyer insists his future at Rugby Park is simply not important as the world fights coronavirus.
Dyer is adamant that everything must go on the back burner at the moment with people’s health the only matter worthy of consideration as the pandemic affects Scotland and the rest of the globe.
With football in lockdown, Dyer is back in his native London due to the virus.
Steve Clarke’s Scotland assistant was initially placed in charge of Kilmarnock until the end of the 2019-20 season.
Record Sport revealed yesterday that Rugby Park chiefs are keen to offer the 54-year-old the chance to extend his current agreement beyond this term.
The decision is a reward for Dyer’s excellent work after stepping into the void left by the departure of Italian Angelo Alessio six months ago.
Dyer, though, insists he’s not giving his personal situation in Ayrshire a single thought at the minute because to him, it’s utterly irrelevant.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Kilmarnock have placed all matters on hold at the moment, from contractual decisions with management, players and staff to season-ticket sales to supporters – with the sole focus on people staying away from the illness.
Dyer epitomises that approach as he said: “Nothing is important at the moment apart from the fact that people are healthy and safe.
“At this present time, people are losing their lives and football is just really small for me at the moment.
“There are people who have lost loved ones and life is not going to be the same for them.
“Things like this are the most important at the moment. Not me, not football.
“Of course I miss being around the boys and the staff and the supporters at times but it really doesn’t matter at the moment.
“Kilmarnock is a good place to go to work but it’s about getting over this period and people getting back to some normality and coming back only when the time is right.
“And we have to take our time and make sure people are ready. That’s all that I am interested in at the moment.”
