Roberto Mancini’s agent has played down talk linking the former Inter Milan coach with a move to Premier League strugglers Fulham.

Rumours have been circulating that the Cottagers are lining up a move for the Italian to succeed under-pressure gaffer Roy Hodgson.

Speculation intensified about Mancini’s future after he travelled to London this week, but Mancini’s representative says the former Leicester man was only in the English capital to watch Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Roma.

Mancini’s agent, Giorgio De Giorgis, has rejected the rumours and insists there have been no offers for the former Italy international.

“I’ve heard rumours but there is nothing concrete,” De Giorgis is quoted as saying in The Times. “Mancini would like to coach Roma or Juventus but he hasn’t had any offers.”
