Charlton Athletic boss Lee Bowyer has said he has had no contact from Cardiff City regarding the vacant manager's post at the club.
WalesOnline understands that Bowyer is one of just three people the Bluebirds are interested in acquiring, along with former Millwall manager Neil Harris and an unknown third candidate.
It is thought Harris is the board's preferred candidate and that now appears to have been confirmed, with Bowyer saying the Welsh capital club are yet to make contact with him.
“I’ve had no contact," he told South London Press .
“I’m in France at the moment. I don’t like coming to this place! I’ve been here twice now, I was also here in the summer when it all kicked off with Roland (Duchatelet, Charlton's owner).
"I’ve come here again and my phone has gone crazy again!”
The Bluebirds parted company with Neil Warnock on Monday evening and have set a target of this week to appoint a new manager.
Bowyer, however, is understood to be in the Champagne region of France at the moment, the same place where contract talks with Duchatelet reportedly broke down in the summer. He subsequently penned a 12-month contract at The Valley.
It appears, then, Bowyer has no imminent plans to be in the Welsh capital any time soon, meaning Harris certainly appears to be the most likely candidate.
