Former Holland and Barcelona striker Patrick Kluivert appears to have closed the door on the prospect of becoming manager of Huddersfield.

Kluivert, who also played for Newcastle, Ajax and AC Milan, was linked with the Huddersfield vacancy at the weekend.

It was reported on Monday that he was interested in the position, which was created when Mark Robins was dismissed after a 4-0 opening defeat to Bournemouth in the Sky Bet Championship.

Huddersfield declined to comment on the suggestions, but Kluivert, 38, wrote on Twitter: "All the rumours are suggestions based on nothing."
