Pep Guardiola has rubbished weekend reports
that he might be leaving Bayern Munich and heading to Manchester City
this summer to replace Manuel Pellegrini.
City boss Pellegrini has come under mounting pressure in
recent months over his side's stuttering European form and their limp
defence of the Premier League title.
With two of Guardiola's
former cohorts at Barcelona - Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain -
now installed in the boardroom at the Etihad, the rumours have gathered
momentum.
But speaking ahead of the second leg of Bayern's Champions League
semi-final against Barcelona, Guardiola was adamant that he will be
staying in Bavaria next season.
He said: "I've said 200 million
times before, I have another year on my contract. I will be here next
year. There's nothing more to say. Next season I will be here and that's
all there is to it."
The 3-0 defeat at the Nou Camp in the first
leg of the Champions league tie followed by a 1-0 loss to Augsburg in
the league on Saturday further fanned speculation over Guardiola's
future after what was the fourth straight loss for Bayern in all
competitions, something that had not happened since 1991.
