Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola on Monday said he has no intention of moving to English Premier League club Manchester City at the end of the season, adding that he will be with his current club next season.
The Bundesliga champions have lost their last four games in all competitions, including a 0-3 defeat to the Spaniard's former club Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final last week.
Those results have sparked rumours Guardiola could leave Bayern for City. However, the 44-year-old has rejected the speculation and is adamant he will be at the Allianz Arena next season.
"I've said it 200 million times: I have one year left on my contract. I'll stay here next season. That is all," Guardiola was quoted as saying by goal.com.
Bayern face Barcelona in the return leg of their European Champions League tie on Tuesday facing a seemingly impossible task of overturning their first leg defeat having failed to score an away goal.
But despite needing at least three goals to remain in the tie, Guardiola has ruled out the prospect of adopting a gung-ho tactical approach.

"We must be patient. We can't do everything in the first 15 to 20 minutes. First we must play football, then we'll see what happens. It's not easy to take play catch up and control the game. We'll try," he said.
A confident Guardiola further added, "They have a 3-0 advantage but it's just a game. We'll give it a try and focus on playing our game, not just the result."
"I'm not thinking about what happens if Barca score. If they score one, we'll need five. Barca have scored 27 goals in their last seven games and have conceded none. We must try to have more of the ball than they do," he concluded.
