Pep Guardiola rules out Manchester City move

Reports in England over the weekend claimed the former Barcelona tactician had already agreed terms to replace Manuel Pellegrini as coach of Manchester City at the end of the season.

But Guardiola, whose current deal expires in the summer of 2016, has brushed aside such speculation and claims he has no plans to leave the Allianz Arena any time soon.

He said in a news conference on Monday: "I have a contract and I will stay here at Bayern. That's all."

Guardiola joined Bayern in the summer of 2013 after enjoying incredible success with Barcelona, first as a player and then as a coach.

The 44-year-old won 14 titles - including two Champions League crowns - in a trophy-laden four-year stint at the helm of the Catalan giants.

And Guardiola, who is considered by many of his peers as the world's best coach, has followed his success at Barca by winning back-to-back Bundesliga titles.

But despite that, and the speculation that City want him, Guardiola is unwilling to talk himself up.

"To be the best coach in the world means sh*t," the former Spain international said. "I've said it a million times.

"I win because I have great players."

Bayern won their third straight Bundesliga title last month but have suffered a drop in form since and Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Augsburg was their fourth straight loss in all competitions.

The German champions next take on Guardiola's former club Barcelona at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday needing to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit to reach the Champions League final.

"I have won everything as a coach and as a player," Guardiola said. "I always give the best of me. I'm happy. If I lose, it's not the end of my career."
