Former Bollywood actor Judan Ali is not in line for a coaching job at Blackburn Rovers, the club's global advisor Shebby Singh insists.

Blackburn Rovers global advisor Shebby Singh has contradicted reports that former Bollywood actor Judan Ali is being considered for a potential coaching role.

The Championship outfit ended Henning Berg's 57-day reign as manager on Thursday after a run of just one win in 10 matches.

Ali, who is enrolled on the FA Coach Bursary Programme, was present at the Blackburn training ground on Friday dressed in a Rovers training kit.

However, Singh told Sky Sports News that the star of several Bollywood films was there only as a "special guest" and not to take training.

Kevin MacDonald is the favourite to replace Berg at Ewood Park, but former Blackburn players Mark Hughes and Tim Sherwood are also thought to be contenders.
