Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has dismissed reports linking him with a move to French club Monaco.

Speculation had arisen over the Frenchman's position after Prince Albert of Monaco attended Liverpool's recent home game with Arsenal.

But Houllier told the club's website: "It's true that Prince Albert of Monaco attended our game against Arsenal, but this was purely in a social capacity as he is a long-standing friend of both myself and Arsene Wenger.

"Let's put the record straight - I am not in discussion with and will not be entering into talks with Monaco about any role at the club. Believe me, I'm here for the long haul," Houllier said.
