Pep Guardiola responds to reports that Man City deal is agreed as Chelsea line up new boss

Pep Guardiola has been linked with the Chelsea job

PEP GUARDIOLA says he is fed up of speculation surrounding his future after being asked about the Chelsea manager's job.

 

The Bayern Munich manager has been linked with the post if the Blues lose patience with under-fire boss Jose Mourinho.
With his contract at Bayern due to expire at the end of the current season, Guardiola is an obvious choice as Mourinho's successor.
Some reports claim he has already been earmarked by Roman Abramovich, with the Blues owner hoping to appoint an interim boss before hiring Guardiola in the summer.

News News Blog Sport understands Mourinho will be axed if a loss at Stoke in the League Cup tonight is followed by a disappointing result against Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday.
However, while Guardiola might be Chelsea's first choice, the Spaniard has also been heavily linked with Manchester City.
It was previously claimed he had agreed a contract at the Etihad to replace Manuel Pellegrini in the summer.
But Guardioloa was not keen to be drawn on the subject of his next club when asked by reporters.

He said: "The subject is always the same. I am not going to answer them. I can't be bothered with it anymore."

His side have started the season in typically fine form with 10 wins out of 10 in the Bundesliga.

Although he was quick to shoot down questions about his future, he is said to have told friends he wants to move to England next summer.

He also claimed discussions over a new contract at the Allianz Arena were "not important."
