"I'd like to return to England, but I also have important matters in Italy. Nothing is certain," Sky Sport News Saturday quoted him as saying.

The 55-year-old coach denied contacts with Manchester City, but La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that he discussed a possible contract with Juventus on Thursday.

The Turin side are looking for a new coach after the abrupt departure last week of Frenchman Didier Deschamps, who secured promotion to the Serie A after the club was sentenced to their first-ever relegation for their involvement in a match-fixing affair.

Ranieri took over struggling Parma at mid-season, managing to avoid relegation in the last game of the season.

He coached Cagliari, Napoli and Fiorentina before stints abroad at Valencia, Atletico Madrid and, for four years, Chelsea.
