City have now fallen four points behind league leaders Arsenal after a disappointing 0-0 draw against Sunderland on Thursday night. The encouraging news for Guardiola is that he will face Chelsea interim boss Calum McFarlane in what is his first professional game in charge.
Chelsea have lost an incredible manager
McFarlane steps in for the sacked Enzo Maresca, who Guardiola first touched upon, with the Italian also being tipped to be his replacement in the near future.
"All I can say is that from my point of view, Chelsea have lost an incredible manager and an incredible person. It's a decision from the Chelsea hierarchy, so I've nothing to say. How lucky I am in the club where I am. My club is extraordinary.
"You wanna fire me? My salary is so high so I have one more year."
On being replaced by Maresca: "No idea. I'm pretty sure you have more info than me.
"How can I give you an update about an opinion that is just an opinion and a rumour? I'm not going to answer that."
Guardiola 'happy' at City
Lastly, Guardiola was pressed on his future, which is a constant topic as his contract slowly runs down. The Spanish coach did not appreciate the query, however, as he showed his frustration towards the media, who are keen to know his replacement.
"Oh my god. I have a contract. I say a thousand million times, I know you're bored of me I've been here for ten years and I promise you I will leave one day but I have a contract, I'm happy, I want to fight with my team.
"The hierarchy respect me - they proved last season when we didn't win one game in three months and they supported me."
