One new Chelsea managerial target, Francesco Farioli, has essentially ruled himself out of taking the job if it was offered.
Chelsea are of course on the hunt for a new full time head coach after sacking Liam Rosenior last week following some terrible form and performances.

Rosenior would have been watching on pretty glumly yesterday as Chelsea beat Leeds United 1-0 at Wembley to get to the final of the FA Cup. Chelsea’s players looked a lot more up for it than they did in the games that led to Rosenior getting sacked, sparking a debate on whether they downed tools under him.
But with Rosenior gone, Chelsea are now putting their focus on finding themselves a new permanent head coach to go into next season with.

Francesco Farioli of Porto
The Porto boss says he is staying there next season and would not be tempted by Chelsea.
He was asked, “can you guarantee to Porto fans that, even if you receive a strong offer from Chelsea, you will stay at Porto?”
Farioli replied: “Yeah, absolutely.”
Quotes picked up by Fabrizio Romano.
Robert Sanchez was a key figure in Chelsea’s cup win yesterday, and he got some well earned praise from his manager at full time. Callum McFarlane says Sanchez’s saves were massive yesterday!
McFarlane has also explained his tactical approach in the lead up to the game and how they looked to use Sanchez, as well as ‘athletes’ to unlock Leeds.
