DUNCAN FERGUSON has turned down an approach from Dundee United over their vacant manager's position, according to reports.
The Everton legend has been assessing his options since leaving Goodison Park as a coach to pursue his career as a manager in his own right.
Ferguson will not be joining Dundee United though, according to The Daily Telegraph, following an approach from the club.
The Tannadice club are looking for a new boss after sacking Jack Ross after just ten weeks in charge.
Liam Fox hinted at possible talks about the permanent managerial role after his Dundee United side earned a goalless draw on the road against Motherwell.
Fox, 38, has been placed in temporary charge of United after the dismissal of Jack Ross and will wait to see what managerial decision is taken by his club.
He said: “It’s been a tough week, a long week for everyone connected with the football club. I’m not being negative and saying we are coming here accepting a point, but the reality of this week – Wednesday, today and the limited time on the training pitch, we are reasonably pleased with where we are at.
“I’ve been totally focused on Wednesday and today. I’m sure, at some point, I’ll speak to whoever I need to speak to. The club is going through their process and, moving forward, that’s something well above my pay grade. Until I’m told otherwise, I’ll just carry on.
“It’s a long time until we set foot back in the building as the boys have got a day off tomorrow. A lot can happen in that period of time.”
