No Go For Hitzfeld

Last updated : 18 March 2004 By Liam Corbett
A German newspaper had quoted Ottmar Hitzfeld as stating that The Blues had received an offer to become manager in the summer.

Chief Executive, Peter Kenyon, has yesterday said: "This is totally untrue and without any foundation whatsoever. Chelsea has not made any approach to Ottmar Hitzfeld."

Hitzfeld had said, "Yes, I have received an offer from Chelsea."

He was however, quick to state his loyalties to Bayern.

"I will fulfil my contract at Bayern until 2005," insisted Hitzfeld.
