Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, has denied speculations that he could be moving back to Italy to take over AC Milan job from Vincenzo Montella, insisting he’s just okay doing his job with the Blues.
Conte has emerged as a possible replacement for Montella, who has been in charge of the club for five defeats in 12 Serie A matches this season.
The former Juventus and Azzurri boss, however, dismissed those reports after orchestrating Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday.
“Milan? Leave it out… We’re trying to stay concentrated, because it’s a tough run from here to the end of the season,” Conte told Sky Sport Italia.
“I am only concentrated on Chelsea and purely want to do what is best for Chelsea.
“If we have this enthusiasm, we can fight to the end,” Conte said.
Milan spared Montella on Sunday with a 2-0 win at Sassuolo, which left the club seventh in the table and 13 points behind leaders Napoli.
Conte’s Chelsea are fourth and nine points adrift of league leaders, Manchester City.
