Neil Warnock has rejected claims he could quit as Cardiff manager.

It was reported this week that Warnock would look to walk away from the Bluebirds due to the emotional toil of Emiliano Sala's disappearance.

Sala had become Cardiff's £15m signing when his private plane - taking him from Nantes to south Wales -disappeared.

Warnock was reduced to tears after the home win over Bournemouth but insists his future remains with Cardiff.

"It has been the worst time in my career really with the tragedy," he told Wales Online.

"The ups and downs have been unbelievable, but it's a big job that's just got bigger and I'm relishing it.

"I've spoke to Mehmet Dalman and our relationship is so close, he knows my feelings.

"Over the past few weeks, there have been times when I thought, 'Is it worth it, being a football manager after all that's happened?'

"But I'm looking forward to (the rest of the season), I've got a responsibility to the club.

"And with Mehmet it's strange, I'm 70 years old but he's like my father. I don't know if that's a compliment, but he's just such a calming influence."

"We'll still be big favourites to go down, but I'm looking forward to going down to Southampton (Cardiff's next game). They'll expect to turn us over, but I think we've got a great chance of getting a result.

"We'll take another massive following down there and the pressure will all be on them, with the atmosphere."

A privately-funded search discovered the plane wreckage this week after an initial search was called off.

An underwater camera showed one occupant visible in the wreckage with the recovery operation now underway.
