Inter Milan president Erick Thohir has refused to guarantee a new deal for Javier Zanetti.

Zanetti, 40, is being linked with a coaching role at Chelsea.

"I haven't had time to meet with him. I had meetings with Nike, with our commercial partners and the banks... I am not saying that he is not important or that I don't respect him," said Thohir.

"I will be back in the next few weeks to prepare for next season in business terms too."
