Manuel Pellegrini warned Manchester City that Pep Guardiola is no lock to agree to come to the club even if he announces his intention to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the current season.

Pellegrini's contract with City runs through 16-17.

"We don't know what Pep will do next season," he said in a news conference. "After that I think Pep is one of the best coaches in the world so if he doesn't continue at Bayern maybe a lot of teams can try to have him manage their team. In my case, I don't have any pressure about that."

Pellegrini led City to the Premier League title in his first season.

"For me the only important thing is to see what I did in my career," he added. "If I finish this season winning the Premier League, to win two Premier Leagues in three years and [finish as] runner up [once] is very important. I'm very happy about my career and my work.

"If I am a manager for around 25 years in different countries and continents and different teams and come to England and have the highest scoring team in history here, that's something for me to be happy about."
