Unai Emery plays down Atletico Madrid talk

Sevilla boss Unai Emery brands reports linking him with a move to Atletico Madrid at the end of the season as 'pure speculation'.

Sevilla boss Unai Emery has poured cold water on suggestions that he could take charge of Atletico Madrid at the end of the season.

Speculation linking Atletico head coach Diego Simeone with Chelsea has gathered pace in recent weeks, with the Argentine said to be considering his future at the Vicente Calderon.

Emery's name was mentioned as a possible replacement for Simeone, but the Spaniard has insisted that he is "very happy at Sevilla".

"This is speculation. I'll return to reality. I'm very happy at Sevilla," Marca quotes Emery as saying.

Sevilla's bid to defend their Europa League crown continues with a last-32 clash against Molde on Thursday night.
