Nuno’s impressive performance at the Molineux this season has attracted interest from the Premier League giants.

The 45-year-old admitted he is happy with Wolves sat at seventh in the league, but he refused to rule out a move away in the future.

He said: “I consider myself a happy person, yes.

“Yes [I am happy in my job], with the problems and difficulties involved, but at the same time it is a moment of joy.

“I have a total dedication to what I must do and what we must do to keep on becoming better and growing. I’m focused.”

When asked if he was aware of interest from Chelsea, he immediately replied: “No.”

In regard to his long-term future, Nuno said: “I am going to be tomorrow at the game, for sure.”

Nuno’s side will face Burnley at Turf Moor following their incredible 2-1 win over Manchester United in the FA Cup. 

Ahead of the match, he said: “Burnley is a very good team – physical, aggressive, well-organised.

“It’s a very tough game for us, very tough.”
