Chris Coleman has denied having talks about becoming Bolton Wanderers' new manager.
The Welshman has endured a mixed time in charge of Real Socieded with four wins and four defeats in the Spanish second division.
Struggling Bolton parted company with Sammy Lee this week after his disastrous spell at the club.
The Trotters have had a humiliating search for a new manager.
Birmingham City refused them permission to speak to Steve Bruce while Leicester City blocked their approach to speak to Gary Megson.
Coleman, 37, said he has not been contacted by Bolton but confessed he would consider a move to the Reebok Stadium.
"I signed a three-year contract with La Real (Sociedad), I said all along that the thing that would tempt me away from La Real would be the Premier League," Coleman said.
"But Bolton have to ask me to go to Bolton, this hasn't happened, and La Real have to say 'Okay, you can leave', and this hasn't happened.
"I understand the speculation but in the Premier League managers lose their jobs quickly in a season, and maybe in a month, or two months, there will be a different club with no manager, and maybe I'll be linked.
"I have seen the speculation, my name has been linked to Bolton, as have many names in England, but for me I am at La Real."
Bolton languish at the bottom of the Premier League following yesterday's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
