Pep Guardiola insists he does not consider leaving Bayern Munich at the moment, following speculation he could replace Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City. Pellegrini is under fire after his side recorded an inconsistent run of results which put their title bid at risk. The Citizens are also in a difficult position in the Champions League after the last-16 first-leg home defeat to Barcelona.
Pellegrini has won two trophies during his first season in England but now it seems Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti and Diego Simeone are linked as potential replacements. Guardiola has a contract with Bayern until the summer of 2016 and he dismissed talk of a move to the Premier League.
Here's what Guardiola said in a press conference: "Of course I'll stay here. I haven't had a contract offer and I am not waiting for a contract offer from anyone else. I'm happy here at Bayern - this is an outstanding club. I want to fulfil my contract and do my job well, that is all I am thinking about at the moment. I still have a year and a half left on my contract. We will sit together in the summer and then we'll see how things go. I can stay in this club five or six years even. This also depends on the players. I'm not the most important thing for the club."
Bayern, who were held to a goalless draw at Shakhtar Donetsk in the last-16 first leg, are 11/4 at Bet365 to win the Champions League this season.

Pep Guardiola is great manager and great person. He did great job in Barcelona and now he doing even better job in Bayern Munich and why he should be unhappy and why he should leave Bayern? I think that he will stay in Bayern and try to win few more Champions league and of course I expect to win Bundesliga every year.

As I remember ,Guardiola is Pretty honest man.During his last season at Barca,he never said that he will sign new contract.In every interview he talked about possibility of both staying and leaving,so I think he is going to stay in Munich for at least a year.Bayerns bosses would be happy with that desicion,cause there is...

Only Pep Guardiola knows what is the truth exactly, but I believe in his words when he said that he is going to stay with Bayern Munich. If he was without a club than that would be another deal. For me Diego Simeone is much more likely name for the next City manager, if the rumors that Pellegrini will be fired are true...

I can't see why should he be "unhappy" to stay in Bayern Munich. Almost every manager would like to be their manager, they are by far the best team in Germany in last couple of years and how things are going I don't see a team that will be able to compete with them in near future. Also, Bayern are very good in Champions...

Also, Bayern are very good in Champions League too and I they are one of my favorites when it comes to winner in Champions League predictions.

Oh thanks God, this guy started to annoy me as hell. Back to topic - Pep Guardiola is really one of the best coaches/managers outthere. Hes unique and Bayern should do everything in their power to hold him for as long as its possible. I understand that Manchester City wants him, but as Boateng said yesterday: "Why would anyone leave Bayern when we are top3 teams in the world?!" And he had point. Machester City should look other way, maybe trying with Simeone or Klopp.

He was already told about this by blueday via PM. It is chip hunting and against our T&Cs. Some LCB chips will be removed as penalty.

I think his team are in fantastic position to win Bundesliga.It still is not.over,but they.play very good.I dont see anything happening that can cause big problems for Bavarians to win the title.Also they have nice chances in Champions League.I considere them.as on of the top 4 teams in Europe.

He is good in Munich,but no one will ever forget his spell at Camp Nou.He was given a chance to lead the team because he was one of the biggeat legends of the club.After first year,when he won 6 trophies he became one of the Barcas favourites.There is a lot of trophies ahead pf hom,for Sure.

Pep Guardiola is a great manager no doubt , but talking about being faithfull to one club is another story ... Same words he was saying about Barcelona for which he was more connected than for Bayern Munich and he left them the way he did . I am a fan of Barcelona but Pep is not a man of his word
