Czech striker Roman Bednar insists he will not return to West Brom after his loan spell at Leicester.
On-loan forward says Di Matteo has lost faith in him
Czech striker Roman Bednar insists he will not return to West Brom after his loan spell at Leicester expires.
Bednar agreed a switch to the Walkers Stadium on Wednesday and has joined the Championship outfit until January.
The 27-year-old believes that he has lost the support of Baggies boss Roberto Di Matteo and will therefore not make a Hawthorns comeback.
"Once the (West Brom) manager let me go, my vision is not to return to West Bromwich. I don't feel confidence in me from him anymore," he told
CTK.
"At the moment I just want to be happy and play regularly. I think I have made the right decision.
High quality
"This loan has been settled so that I don't warm the bench. I will be doing my best and believe I will gain ground at Leicester."
The Foxes are currently 17th the Championship but Bednar believes Sven-Goran Eriksson's side are capable of better things.
"The team is of a high quality and, in my opinion, should be somewhere else in the table," he added.
On his Swedish manager, he remarked: "I have decided for Leicester not only because of the manager but also because it takes me just 45 minutes to get there from my home, so I don't need to move.
"In the worst case I will be spending the nights ahead of games in hotel.
Great record
"He is a high-quality manager who has a great record of teams he has coached previously.
"After a long time, I enjoyed a training session with a smile on my face."
Bednar will have stern competition with Darius Vassell, Martyn Waghorn, Matty Fryatt and Steve Howard also attacking options.
He said: "I know all of them. I consider them high-quality forwards but am not afraid of competition.
"It's good for me but, as I said before, I've not moved to Leicester to just warm the bench."
