Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed he is not listening to rumours suggesting Manchester City are eying him to replace Pep Guardiola.
Recent reports claimed the Italian was being eyed as a potential replacement for Guardiola, who is expected to depart the Cityzens in the near future.
The Italian said: “It doesn’t affect me at all. I know that it is 100% speculation and in this moment, there is no time for these things.
“I have a contract here until 2029 and my focus is about this club. I’m very proud to be here. It’s speculation. One week ago, it was the same with Juventus so I don’t pay attention.
“Again, it’s just speculation. It’s important to understand the reason why this news was there, but it’s not my job. I don’t care at all and the focus is on the Newcastle game.”
