Sassuolo coach Eusebio Di Francesco has played down talk linking him with Fiorentina.

He is being linked with the Viola should their coach Vincenzo Montella choose to move on.

"You've got to be serious," the former Roma player responded, as reported by FirenzeViola.it.

"I have respect for Sassuolo. Of course I am ambitious in my job, but I'm happy where I am.

"Someday I would be happy to sit on an important bench, but I'm not going to name names because everybody would start thinking about Roma.

"But right now all I've got in my mind is the game against Cagliari."
