There's been no contact with Blues and Mancini is happy at Inter, claims advisor
26 May 2008
Mancini's name has been linked with the vacancy at Stamford Bridge, created by Saturday's sacking of Avram Grant, with the former Italy striker also said to be unsettled at Inter.
But while his representative Maurizio De Giorgis admitted 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.

"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 told Sky Sports News.
"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 club president Massimo Moratti.

De Giorgis believes 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 the Portuguese media suggesting the former Chelsea boss could be appointed in the next couple of days.
