Chelsea caretaker boss Roberto di Matteo denies he's been interviewed for the full-time job.

Reports prior to Wednesday's 1-0 win over Barcelona suggested the Italian had already been interviewed for the post after masterminding what was at that point nine victories and one defeat from his 12 games in charge.

But on Friday afternoon he denied having held any talks about his long-term future, adding: "I don't think it's important right now to speak about anything like that.

"Our focus is on playing these games. We don't have time to think about anything else."

Chelsea are in the midst of a punishing schedule of a match every three or four days but asked when he would make his intentions known, Di Matteo added: "I don't think there's a time limit to anything like that.

"At the moment, that's not the focus of anybody because it's not important. We've got more important aspects to think about."
