Roberto Mancini has not had talks with Chelsea, according to his agent, and remains intent on guiding Inter MIlan to a fourth successive Serie A title.

Chelsea are scouring the world to replace the sacked Avram Grant and although the club have yet to identify who will become their third manager in nine months, they are thought to have put together a shortlist for the vacancy. Mancini's name may be among the contenders thought to be in the running, however, Maurizio De Giorgis said that while Chelsea were one of the "top five clubs in the world with a phenomenal president", he was adamant Mancini would see out the remainder of his current contract in Italy.

"There is no truth whatsoever that there has been contact with Chelsea and there has been no contact with any team other than Inter," De Giorgis said.

"That is the real truth. If there are rumours they are unfounded. If there is anybody that went to make noises to Chelsea, it was not authorised by Roberto Mancini."

Mancini has endured a turbulent season at the San Siro, tendering his resignation in the immediate aftermath of the club's Champions League elimination by Liverpool in March only to be talked into a rethink by Massimo Moratti, the club president. De Giorgis says Mancini is focused on claiming more silverware in Italy.

He said: "He has a four-year contract with Inter and he is very happy to stay there. He just won a third championship and they are also going to try to win a fourth and the Champions League too."

Jose Mourinho has been linked with Mancini's job at Inter, with Portuguese media reports suggesting the former Chelsea boss could be appointed in the next couple of days.
