Mancini linked with Chelsea

After Inter Milan sacked Roberto Mancini, the Italian coach was quickly linked with a move to Chelsea. Mancini's advisor, Maurizio de Giorgis, has quickly moved to reject speculation that Mancini has already agreed a move to Chelsea, or is currently in discussions over a future move to the club.

His representative said: "As of now there is no contact with Chelsea. Roberto Mancini is not a person or coach who likes to propose himself to a club, he waits for a club to look after him so we are in that position right now. We are not proposing Mancini to any club.

"It's a natural consequence of what has happened. Chelsea are one of the top five clubs in the world so it is more likely, if there will be any talk, there is more chances of it to happen now than before.

"There are chances but at the moment, as of today, there has been no official contact with Chelsea or any other team."
