Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola "has no interest" in a return to Bayern Munich, according to his agent, and plans to see out his contract at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola's happiness at the Eithad Stadium has come under question as City struggle to contain a Liverpool side now clear favourites for the Premier League title.

With Bayern Munich currently without a manager following Niko Kovac's sacking, Guardiola has been linked with a return to Bavaria.

However, the former Barcelona head coach's agent has dismissed the rumours and confirmed Guardiola's mantra that he will see out the final 18 months of his City contract.

"Pep is satisfied and very happy in Manchester," Orotbig told Bild (via Sport Witness). "His contract runs until June 2021.

"I have spoken to nobody in Germany about him – neither with agents or club bosses. Pep has good memories of Munich and still has friends there.

"But he has never shown any interest in returning to Germany as a coach. This is a thing that would be just as impossible at the present time as last summer with Juventus.

"Guardiola always fulfils his contracts. I deny all rumours!"
