Back Champions League: Pep Guardiola set to stay at Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola has dismissed the rumours linking him with a move at Manchester City, saying he will still be at the German champions next season. Guardiola was asked about his future during the press conference before Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona.

"I've already said 200 million times - I'll be here next season. That's it," Guardiola said. "I have a year left on my contract. Next season I will be here." Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini could be sacked after his team failed to defend the Premier League title this season. There were newspaper reports last week stating that Guardiola had already reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for next season.

The Spanish manager has won five domestic titles in his six seasons as head coach, three of them with Barcelona and the other two with Bayern Munich. He also reached the Champions League semi-finals five times. He is unlikely to reach the final this time though as Barcelona hammered Bayern 3-0 in the first leg last week. Guardiola said: "Barcelona are strong on the break. If we let something slip, they'll punish us. We have to defend well. We can't go on the all-out attack. We have to control the game. We're Bayern - before a game I've never said that we have no chance. Of course we do."

Here are the odds for Tuesday's second leg at Bet365:

Bayern win - 8/5 Draw - 11/4 Barcelona win - 17/10
