Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel says he is unconcerned about the transfer speculation linking him with a move to Huddersfield Town, especially since Danny Cowley was hired.

Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel says he is unconcerned about rumours linking him to other jobs.

The German has not agreed a new deal with the Yorkshire club and had been linked with the Huddersfield Town job before Danny Cowley was appointed.

However, speaking to reporters this week he expressed his contentment with his current position and offered no comment on the speculation linking him with the Terriers.

"I sit here today and Huddersfield has a new manager," Stendel told The Star. "That is all what I can say. I am the head coach at Barnsley. I am the coach of Barnsley and Huddersfield have a new coach. We are concentrating on the game on Sunday against Leeds [United]."

"I am happy to work at Barnsley. I think we have had a really good last 14 months. I like to work with our team and I think we will speak about the new contract at some [other] time."

Barnsley currently sit 21st in the Championship, while Leeds are fourth, having slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Swansea City last time out.
