Pep Guardiola has ruled out a move to Manchester City and hopes to stay at Bayern Munich for many years to come.
The Spaniard had been touted as a potential replacement for City's under-fire manager Manuel Pellegrini, with the Blues on the verge of a Champions League exit and unlikely to retain their Premier League crown.
City chiefs Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain worked closely with Guardiola during a fruitful spell at Barcelona, fuelling talk of a reunion.
But the 44-year-old, whose contract at the Allianz Arena expires in 2016, has dismissed the speculation.
"Manchester City? I hope to stay at Bayern Munich for a long time," he said, per Manchester Evening News.
"I have a contract with this wonderful club and aim to fulfil that. I have not received any offers.
"We will see what happens after next year. I am very happy at Bayern."
Guardiola is on course to lift his second Bundesliga title in as many seasons in Bavaria, and his side are a win away from progression to the Champions League's quarter final stage.
