EXCLUSIVE: No Chelsea Move For Roberto Mancini...Yet

Former Inter coach Roberto Mancini will not be joining Chelsea any time soon, as his agent Maurizio De Giorgis reveals all to Goal.com.

Mancini has been out of work since he received the sack from the Nerazzurri in May. A number of reports in both Italy and England have linked him to Chelsea as well as Manchester City.

This morning, Sportmediaset had Mancini down for a possible role with the London-based club, but that seems unlikely.

His agent has exclusively told Goal.com that neither club have come forward.

"I would know everything and I can tell you with certainty that no club has come forward for Mancini," De Giorgis told Goal.com.

"We have not had any contact with Chelsea, Manchester City or any other English club for that matter.

"For now no-one has been in touch and therefore all this news is unfounded."

Although there has been no news from either club, the agent would welcome any interest and he is hoping the Premier League giants come knocking on Mancini's door.

"I certainly hope that they [Chelsea] come forward, but like I said, nothing so far.

"If they call then we will answer them obviously."

The Independent carried a report last week claiming Mancini was dining with Manchester City, but De Giorgis has rubbished the talk coming from England.

"We were not in England last week. In the past we have been because Mancini has been studying English," added the agent.

"I can tell you for sure that Mancini is in Italy at the moment. He has been in Italy for quite some time.

"It's impossible that he was seen in another place by other people. These reports are untrue and I can assure you this.

"You never know what happens in football. We could recieve a call from someone in the next few hours.

"However, this is the truth, no contact with any team, English or otherwise.

"Mancini is still under contract with Inter who are still paying him and we haven't taken into consideration any other club."
