The Sun reported that the Football Association, was considering the Spaniard as Roy Hodgson’s successsor. Hodgson could leave his role after the Euro 2016, if the Three Lions flop.
Guardiola’s future at the Allianz Arena is also up in the air, with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season.
When the former Barcelona boss was asked if he would consider the England job, he 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 was 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.”
