Boss Martin Jol has denied reports claiming Danny Murphy is poised for a return to Fulham to join the coaching staff.
The Cottagers boss has spoken out following a weekend of rumours that he has been in touch with the 36-year-old midfielder, who departed Craven Cottage in the summer transfer window to join Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers.
However, Murphy's spell at Ewood Park has turned sour with the club now embroiled in a battle to avoid being relegated for a second successive season, while Rovers' owners Venky's recently axed boss Michael Appleton - their third manager of the season following on from Steven Kean and Henning Berg.
Jol claims there have been no discussions between Fulham and Murphy about a return to the Londoners and the Dutch tactician expects him to stay with the Lancashire outfit.
He said: "We haven't thought about it and we haven't spoken about it. I don't even know what he wants. He is at Blackburn. So maybe he will be a coach there."
