Sven-Goran Eriksson has once again insisted he has no intention of walking out on his position as England coach.

Sven-Goran Eriksson has once again insisted he has no intention of walking out on his position as England coach.

The Swede, who has previously been linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid, felt the need to speak out after reports suggested he is being lined up to take charge at Chelsea.

Eriksson recently met with new Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and agent Pini Zahavi in London but insists the reason was purely a social one.

Eriksson told www.theFA.com: “I can confirm that last week I met with Pini Zahavi and the new owner of Chelsea Football Club – Roman Abramovich. The meeting took place at Mr Abramovich’s property in London.

“Due to the intense media profile given to Mr Abramovich’s involvement with Chelsea, I accept that this meeting may create unfortunate speculation.

“Therefore, I would like to once again categorically re-affirm my total commitment to my role as England head coach.

“I am thoroughly enjoying the current European Championship qualifying campaign and I am looking forward to leading England to success in the future.”
