Como manager, Cesc Fabregas, has distanced himself from the vacant Chelsea job, insisting he is focusing on his future with the Italian side.
Chelsea is searching for the next permanent manager to succeed Liam Rosenior after sacking the Englishman.
The Blues had already appointed Calum McFarlane to temporarily take charge of the team until the end of the season.
However, Fabregas, a former Chelsea midfielder, has been linked with the managerial job at the Premier League west London club.
Como’s president, Mirwan Suwarso, had earlier on Friday told City AM that he would not stand in Fabregas’ way if he wants to take the reins at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking on the development ahead of Como’s Serie A clash with Genoa this weekend, Fabregas said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano regarding the Chelsea job: “Nothing to say about that, it’d be stupid to think about that now — my focus is on the next game against Genoa. I didn’t even saw any quote from our president.
“I believe I will continue my chapter as Como head coach. Focus on the next games.”
