Ex-Chelsea skipper Desailly: I had Swansea offer

Former Chelsea captain Marcel Desailly is not interested in the Swansea City job.

Desailly has revealed he rejected an approach from Swansea to discuss their managerial vacancy.

The 43-year-old is one of a number of high-profile former players to have been linked with the job, but he admitted the opportunity to take his first management position came too soon.

He told Le 10 Sport: "I was approached, but it is not the right time. Everything seemed fine, but it was too early."
