Nicolas Anelka insists he is planning to stay at Shanghai Shenhua for the long-term.
The Frenchman left Chelsea for the Chinese Super League club in January, and was soon elevated to a coaching role.
Shenhua have endured a dire run of form recently, leading to rumours Anelka would soon leave the club, but the 33-year-old is adamant he is staying put.
"All of this might just be a communication problem," he told reporters.
"I'm going to stay at the club."
There had been reports Anelka had threatened to quit if the club hired a new coach, and he admitted such a move would force him to consider his future.
"If there is always someone to support me or to continue to play tricks behind my back, then I will decide quickly whether to leave or not," Anelka said.
