Paulo Sousa has revealed that he is "fine" at Bordeaux, amid speculation of a potential switch to Arsenal.
Earlier this week, Sousa, who has previously managed Queens Park Rangers, Swansea City and Leicester City, emerged as a surprise candidate to replace Unai Emery.
While only being regarded as a fringe contender for a role at the Emirates Stadium, the Portuguese has suggested that he is happy with life at Bordeaux.
Speaking at a press conference, Sousa told reporters: "I'm fine here, focused on everything I can control. It's me who makes the decision, not my agent.
"I'm trying to have a great marriage with this club. It's not a question of being impatient."
Sousa only arrived at Bordeaux in March, while just 10 wins have been recorded from 29 matches in all competitions.
