Guardiola walks out of press conference after England question
Bayern Munich head coach Pep Guardiola walked out of a press conference after being asked if he was interested in the England manager's job.
The Catalan's contract with Bayern is up for renewal next summer and he has been keen to avoid the subject, repeating that he does not wish to talk about his future.
Guardiola has been linked him with a move to Manchester City while newspaper reports on Friday suggested that he is being lined up as the successor to Roy Hodgson.
When pressed on that subject at his weekly pre-match press conference ahead of Bayern's trip to Mainz on Saturday, Guardiola rose from his seat and said goodbye.
"Oh come on, I'm coach of Bayern Munich," he said. "Many thanks and auf wiedersehen."
The question about whether he would be interested in taking charge of the Three Lions after Euro 2016 proved to be the final straw for the 44-year-old former Barcelona coach, who had already deflected an initial enquiry into his future plans with a polite "next question please".
Guardiola has led Bayern to back-to-back Bundesliga titles yet at the start of this, his third season in charge, he seemed to question whether he was indeed the right man for the job.
He said he would step down if he ever got the feeling somebody else would be a better choice for the club, fuelling speculation he is preparing his departure from Bavaria next summer.
Bayern have also recently cooled talk of extending Guardiola's contract, saying negotiations will be held as and when the former Spain international is ready.
