Usain Bolt's football dream took a step closer to becoming reality on Sunday as his agent confirmed he had been offered a contract by Central Coast Mariners.
But it seems no one told coach Mike Mulvey, who not only denied any knowledge of an offer but wondered if the Jamaican sprint king could fit into the team.
Bolt scored a brace earlier this month in his third appearance since joining the A-league club on trial in the summer.
Usain Bolt's football dream is nearing a reality after he was offered a professional contract
And it seems the 32-year-old has done enough to impress down under, with his agent Ricky Simms telling Fairfax Media: 'In response to the media stories, yes, Usain has been offered a contract. I do not want to make any further comment at this stage.'
But, speaking after a 1-1 draw with Brisbane Roar on Sunday, Mariners coach Mulvey dismissed it as 'speculation'.
'You have a look at our front line today and you wonder whether he could get into any of those positions, wouldn't you?', he said.
'I do appreciate how important this story is for the rest of the world.
'You're just talking about speculation, I don't know anything about what you're talking about and that's the honest truth.'
Bolt, who retired from track and field last year, was in Melbourne during the Mariners' opening match.
Mulvey, who said several weeks ago that it might take until January to determine if Bolt can make it in professional soccer, added that the former sprinter was not on his radar for now.
'We're going to go back, have some dinner, have a little look at the game that's on ... then get on a plane tomorrow, go home and start preparing for Melbourne City next week,' he said. 'That's the plan.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
