Portugal boss Luiz Felipe Scolari says Chelsea
have made no contact with him, increasing speculation that Carlo
Ancelotti is off to the Blues.
Scolari has been heavily linked with the Stamford Bridge
club since the departure of Avram Grant last weekend.
The Brazilian is out of contract at the end of Euro 2008 but he
insists he will make no decision about his future until after the
championship in Austria and Switzerland.
"I am working normally around the national squad," said Scolari,
also linked with Manchester City recently, on Sky Sports News.
"It is normal at the end of a contract for a coach to be
mentioned with other clubs.
"If I take a decision, I will tell my president. But I haven't
made a decision yet. My only decision now is to work until after
the European Championship.
"My president is Gilberto Madail. He is my representative. If he
had any contact with Chelsea, I haven't been told about it."
The other contenders for the Blues job appear to be Ancelotti,
Roberto Mancini and Mark Hughes, with reports on Friday claiming
the former has already been approached by Roman Abramovich.
