ANTONIO CONTE has dismissed talks of joining AC Milan while he focuses on Chelsea’s season.
The homesick Italian been linked with a return to Serie A with the struggling San Siro outfit.
But speaking after Chelsea’s 1-0 win at home to Manchester United yesterday, Conte told Sky Italia: “Milan? Leave it out…
“We’re trying to stay concentrated, because it’s a tough run from here to the end of the season.
“I am only concentrated on Chelsea and purely want to do what is best for Chelsea.
“If we have this enthusiasm, we can fight to the end.”
Milan chief Massimiliano Mirabelli claims there have been no moves for Conte, 48, in a show of support to under-fire Rossoneri boss Vincenzo Montella.
He said: “We already have a manager and we are not thinking of Conte nor about other managers.”
