Maurizio Sarri has been linked with the Juventus job

Im not an idiot, he told talkSPORT’s Ian Abrahams. I know the rumours and they were there earlier on in the season. The first thing I will say is that Maurizio Sarri is their manager, so from my point of view I should not be saying too much anyway.We have a huge game on Monday and the way this club has welcomed me and the opportunity it has given me, and Ive got two years on my contract, my focus can only be on this game. The Chelsea link is an obvious one because of my career there and it might mean weve had a pretty good season here and Im happy with that.Monday is huge for this club. Its huge for me and I want to make sure that any Derby fans that might say whats Frank thinking?, Im absolutely thinking about this game and after the game I will sit with Mel (Morris, Derby owner) and say whatever the result where are we going forward with the club?
