Del Bosque admits Chelsea talks

The agent of former Real Madrid trainer Vicente del Bosque has played down reports linking the Spaniard with Chelsea.

Del Bosque says he wants to continue coaching next season and has received enquires from Italy and Spain.

But Pedro De Felipe, the agent for Del Bosque, has confirmed that "nothing concrete" has been offered by Chelsea.

Del Bosque, himself, revealed: "I know there was a phone call and some interest but the issue is a delicate one."

"Chelsea have a manager who has a signed contract and I refuse to speak to them while the situation is like that.

"It would hurt me as much as it would Ranieri and I wouldn't like a similar thing to happen to me."

"But the Premiership is one of the most powerful leagues in the world and has clubs of enormous quality. Any coach would like to manage there, but not at any cost. I am a person with ethics."
