Hungarian coach Laszlo Csaba claims he has been targeted by Hearts to become their new manager.

Hearts' majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov is still looking for a new boss after Vladimir Weiss opted instead for the Slovakia job, while caretaker manager Stephen Frail was last week placed on gardening leave.

Csaba, who is currently coach of Uganda's national team, is now the latest name in the frame after insisting Romanov is keen on appointing him.

The former Ferencvaros coach will be remembered by Hearts fans for clashing with then boss John Robertson after a UEFA Cup match in 2004.

"It's true the Hearts owner would like me to be his new coach," Csaba told the Daily Record.

Problems

"I know Mr Romanov very well and that he's had some problems recently with his coaches.

"But I've got a contract with Uganda until 2010 and I would like to go to the African Cup of Nations and maybe even the World Cup with this team.

"Still, anything can happen and if Hearts really like me they should speak next to the president of the Ugandan federation."

Meanwhile, Robertson has confirmed he would welcome a return to Hearts after parting company with Irish club Derry City last year.
