Pep Guardiola on Monday dismissed out of hand rumours he will quit Bayern Munich with a year left on his contract to become Manchester City coach for next season. "Oh, boys. I have said 200 million times that I have a year left on my contract and will be here next season. That's it!," said an exasperated Guardiola ahead of their Champions League semi-final, second leg, against Barcelona having lost the first leg 3-0 away.
There were fresh claims over the weekend that Premier League giants City are negotiating with Guardiola to bring the 44-year-old to the Etihad Stadium to replace Manuel Pellegrini as head coach. Guardiola has reportedly been offered 22 million euros ($32.75 million) a year to help City usurp Chelsea at the top of the English league and give them the success in the Champions League that their owners so crave.
