Guardiola walks out of Bayern Munich press conference after England rumour question
The 44-year-old, whose contract expires next
summer, has been linked with the England job but
is currently reviewing an offer to remain with the
Bundesliga champions Pep Guardiola walked out of
his Bayern Munich press conference on Friday
after a reporter asked whether he could become
England's next manager.
An article in The Sun has claimed that the Football
Association are targeting the 44-year-old as a
potential successor for Roy Hodgson, who could
leave his role after Euro 2016 if England's
campaign is a failure.
Guardiola's future at Bayern has also been the
subject of constant speculation as his contract
with the Bundesliga champions expires at the end
of the season.
But when asked if he would consider the role with
England, Guardiola replied before leaving the
room: "Come on, next question. Next question,
please. No. I am the coach at Bayern Munich.
Thank you."
Earlier this week, Bayern’s chief executive Karl-
Heinz Rummenigge claimed Guardiola is currently
considering a “great offer” to stay with the club.
"I am optimistic about Pep's renewal. We have a
great offer on the table, which you cannot just
shove aside," Rummenigge told Bild.
"We have a first-class team, a fantastic club, a
great stadium and a wonderful city to offer. We
will have a serious conversation with Pep in the
upcoming weeks and we will see what comes
from that.
"I want to win the Champions League again - with
Guardiola in charge."
