Pep Guardiola insists he has no intention of quitting Manchester City in the near future.

The City boss, who is already into his fourth season at the Etihad Stadium, did not stay longer than four years in either of his previous managerial jobs at Barcelona or Bayern Munich.

There have been suggestions in recent weeks he could walk away at the end of the current campaign.

Guardiola has guided City to back-to-back Premier League titles but they currently lie in fourth place, nine points behind leaders Liverpool.

The Spaniard, whose current contract ends in 2021, said: “I want to stay. I don’t have any reasons to move from here.

“I am incredibly satisfied to work with this club, with these players, and if the people think I am going to resign or be sacked for these results and being nine points behind, the people don’t know me.

“I like to be in this challenge, I love to be in this position and if the club wants (me) next season I want to be here, 100 per cent.

“I want to live in this city because I know lovely people here and I want to work and live with them and I want to be here.

“If they decide the results are getting worse, they are going to take a decision, that’s normal. It’s not because I am friends with (director of football) Txiki (Begiristain) that I am going to stay for the rest of my life.

“I am here because I win. If I don’t win I’m in trouble, I know that, but I’m incredibly satisfied to work in this city and with this club and I want to help this club to get better.

“I still enjoy working with these players a lot and I would like to stay longer, if the club wants, I will stay.”
