'˜It's not about me' - Leeds boss Garry Monk keeps contract talk details to himself

Head coach Monk has fourth-placed Leeds on course for their best ever finish since relegation from the Premier League in 2004 and in contention for a long-awaited return to the country’s top flight.

But the 38-year-old boss is still only contracted at United until the summer with the club’s fans desperately calling for co-owners Andrea Radrizzani and Massimo Cellino to tie up their head coach on a longer term deal.

Monk, though, was not prepared to discuss the matter at his Thursday afternoon weekly press conference, insisting all of his focus should remain on United’s Championship run-in and immediately speaking Saturday’s Elland Road clash with QPR.

“I’m not going to talk about that situation, I don’t need to,” said Monk.

“I think it’s selfish if I talk about myself.

“Right now is these players, this football club and them trying to win games, that’s the only bit.

“You guys, I will tell you the first if there’s any news on that side of it but that will obviously be when I have sat down and spoke to the club.

“For me, it’s selfish of me to think about myself. It’s important that I think about my players and my staff and this club.

“We are trying to do that and that’s what’s already started in readiness and in preparation for this game at the weekend.”
