Sven-Goran Eriksson has been approached by the Portuguese giants Benfica, according to reports.
The former England boss is widely-expected to lose his job as Manchester City manager this summer.
"We have nothing to say about it" - Ricardo Maia
Eriksson has managed Benfica twice in the past and the Lisbon club's officials have been looking for a manager since Antonio Camacho quit.
A Portuguese TV crew claims to have filmed Benfica president Luis Felipe Vieira and club captain Rui Costa in a hotel in Manchester.
Benfica spokesman Ricardo Maia said: "We will not comment on any suggestions of a future Benfica coach now.
"Whether someone is or is not in Manchester to try to persuade Eriksson, we have nothing to say about it."
