Hasselbaink "flattered" by Championship interest

Manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has revealed that he is fully focused on attempting to earn promotion to the Championship with Burton Albion.

The Staffordshire club have announced that Hasselbaink has attracted interest from a second-tier side, reported to be Rotherham United, but despite admitting that he is "flattered", the Dutchman has indicated that he wants to remain at the League One outfit.

The 43-year-old told the club's official website: "I am flattered by the interest but this is not the right opportunity for me at the present time.

"I'm Burton Albion manager and want to continue the work we are doing here."

Burton currently sit top of the League One standings, one point ahead of Walsall.
