Nick Cushing – one of the candidates for Arsenal women’s managerial vacancy – has seemingly ruled himself out of a return to the Women’s Super League.

The former Manchester City women’s boss emerged as an early candidate to replace Jonas Eidevall, but told a pre-match news conference he expects to still be with the Major League Soccer (MLS) side next season.

“The whole story is news to me,” Cushing said.

“There has been no contact from anybody outside this organisation with myself. I can confirm I will be here next year.”

The Gunners are still considering their options and have not yet conducted any interviews.

Last week Arsenal confirmed interim manager Renee Slegers will remain in charge until at least December.

Cushing, 39, is currently overseeing the best-of-three MLS Cup play-offs against Cincinnati.

Having won one game each, the winner of Saturday’s decider will progress to the semi-finals, with the MLS Cup taking place on 7 December.
