AVB rules out Inter

by Setanta Staff , 23 February 2012 Chelsea

Andre Villas-Boas has dismissed speculation linking him with Inter Milan and says he is fully focused on the job in hand at Chelsea.


The Portuguese is under increasing pressure at Stamford Bridge and some reports have suggested he will be axed unless Chelsea can turn around a 3-1 deficit against Napoli.

However if Villas-Boas does get the boot it has also been reported he could walk straight into a job at the San Siro where former Blues boss Claudio Ranieri is also under pressure.

Despite the rumours Villas-Boas says he has a job to do at Chelsea is not thinking about moving on.

"I have the utmost respect for the work of Ranieri, who is experiencing a situation of change at Inter similar to ours," Villas-Boas told Mediaset Premium.

"I think we both will continue to work with our current team, to believe in our work and try to get results.

"The market rumours are part of football, but I want to build Chelsea's future and I'm working on that.

"The results are not positive, but we must look forward."

To keep the Inter Milan connection going there are also string rumours doing the round that former Nerazzurri boss Rafa Benitez is being lined up to replace Villas-Boas at the Bridge.
