Germany coach Joachim Low is remaining silent on speculation linking him with the vacancy at Chelsea. A report in a Swiss newspaper claimed Low had met with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in a Geneva hotel to discuss the possibility of the 52-year-old replacing Andre Villas-Boas, who was sacked as manager on Sunday.

The Blues denied any such meeting took place and Low declined to discuss the issue on Tuesday.

He said in remarks reported by German tabloid Bild: "I have a contract as national team coach until 2014.

"The European Championships start in three months and everyone knows my goal.

"I see no reason for me to comment on media speculation."
