Fabrizio Romano has actually played down the chances of one top manager taking over at Chelsea for next season.
He told Caught Offside that he is at the stage, not aware of any links between the job and current out of work boss, Antonio Conte.
Conte obviously has a successful past at Stamford Bridge, where he won both the Premier League and the FA Cup in his two season spell.
Since then though, things have not exactly gone to plan, highlighted by a poor spell across London at Tottenham.
No current links between Chelsea and Conte
The Italian is currently out of work, and a return to his home country has often been touted as the most likely outcome in terms of his next job.
However, there have been murmurs that a return to West London could also be on the cards.
Romano however has come out and put a bit of a dampener on those claims.
He said: “There’s also been a story about the possibility of Antonio Conte returning to Chelsea as manager, while he’s also been linked as a candidate for another of his former clubs Juventus.
“As things stand, I’m not aware of any concrete contact, Conte is waiting for the right proposal but there is zero to report with these two clubs right now.”
Pressure on Pochettino
There are reports that current Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is under severe pressure in his role.
Qualifying for Europe for next season is likely the target, and that looks difficult to achieve through the conventional route of a top seven finish.
This will likely put pressure on them reaching the final of the FA Cup and going onto to win the whole thing.
After the entertaining albeit lacklustre quarter-final against Leicester City, they will have their work cut out when they face holders Manchester City in the last four in a few weeks time.
