Accrington Stanley have this afternoon released a statement confirming that they have not received an official approach from Rochdale for boss John Coleman at this stage.
Rochdale are understood to be keen on appointing Coleman as their new manager but Stanley insisted last night that they were unaware of any interest.
That has now been followed up by a statement, with the Reds eager to hang on to their long-serving manager.
"Accrington Stanley have received no approach from any club for manager John Coleman," the statement read.
"John and his assistant Jimmy Bell signed new contracts taking them through to at least 2015 only just over 12 months ago.
"Accrington Stanley will make no further comment on this matter at this time."
Rochdale must now decide whether to follow up their interest with an official approach.
