New Delhi: Chelsea have rejected rumors that World Cup winning coach Marcello Lippi has been sought out as replacement for Jose Mourinho.
The Chelsea coach remains unfazed by the speculation as he looks to cut down Manchester United's six-point lead in the Premiership.
"The biggest challenge in Chelsea is to win the first Premiership after 50 years, I think is the biggest challenge of the century for Chelsea. But it's something we want to do and it's something we feel we can do," Jose Mourinho said.
Mourinho is raring to have a go at Manchester United. The Chelsea coach is confident ahead of the match against Charlton.
John Terry is set to return to the side for Saturday's clash after being out of the game for seven weeks due to a back injury.
"He's an important player, we miss him. He's out for a long long time and it is important he's back especially when we are in a period where we keep losing players. So it is important if we lose some you get some, so it's important for us that he's available," Mourinho said about Terry.
But John Terry's return to the team may help fill the gap left by Ashley Cole.
The defender injured himself badly in Wednesday's win against Blackburn. And he has been diagnosed with ligament damage, which may just keep him out of the rest of the games.
"The doctors are doing the scans and everything but at this moment it doesn't look very good," Mourinho added.
But even as all this unfolds Mourinho is eager to keep the wins going.
