Former Inter Milan chief Lele Oriai is coy about an offer from Chelsea.

Now Italy team manager, Oriali has hinted he's spoken to Blues boss Antonio Conte about joining him in London.

Asked about the rumours, he told TMW: "I can only say that we are very good friends.

"In the national team we have created a certain relationship and we are still in touch."

Conte has had concerns about the makeup of the Chelsea front office and also spoke with the board about hiring Walter Sabatini, now with Inter Milan, last season.
