Marcello Lippi has ruled out a move to Chelsea as their new trainer, as he concerned that he knows very little English. The Italian had been linked as Avram Grant's potential successor at the club.

“No, no, no. I will not be Chelsea's trainer,” replied Lippi when asked about the position by The Sun.



“It is absolutely fundamental that a coach speaks with his players and I cannot, because I do not speak English.”
