Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has not been drawn on the most recent links to the vacant role at his former club.
The ex-England midfielder has recently secured the Championship title with Coventry, and will be a Premier League manager next season.
He has been touted as a potential replacement at Chelsea, having previously been head coach between July 2019 to January 2021.
However, Lampard did say the team are going through a tough period, but his business remains at Coventry.
He said: “I don’t want to talk about Liam and Chelsea because I’ve been there.
“I never want to talk too much about mangers because of context behind the scenes. It’s disrespectful to have a judgement on it, that’s for pundits.
“I’m Coventry manager, I’m enjoying my moment of us being promoted and winning the title and that’s it.
“It’s a difficult patch for sure. As managers, we know what the consequences can be and we all have to big enough to understand that.
“They have a chance to be able to get something out of the season with the FA Cup and the league position if they can make that better.
“Chelsea is a big part of my life, but at the moment, that’s their business and my business is here.”
On if he can understand why Coventry fans are worried about him leaving for Chelsea, Lampard added: “I’d like to think the Coventry fans are just enjoying what we’ve done this season.
“I think the world of management and lots of things are out of your control. You can only control your work and I have to talk about rumours and things, but at the moment, we need to enjoy where we are and what we’ve done this season.
“I’m proud and pleased to be a part of it.”
