Inverness have turned down an approach from Dundee United for manager John Hughes.
United are looking for a new manager after Jackie McNamara was sacked by the struggling Scottish Premiership club last month.
Hughes, who led Caley Thistle to third place finish in Scotland's top flight last season as well as a maiden Scottish Cup win, was immediately linked with the vacancy.
The club issued a hands-off warning at the start of the month but United still decided to make an official approach.
Caley Thistle chairman Kenny Cameron said: "I can confirm that Dundee United have, today, requested permission from the club to open discussions with team manager John Hughes.
"The club have stated previously that we wish John to remain with us for this season and beyond.
"This position has not changed and the approach from Dundee United has been rejected."
