Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola stormed out of a Bayern Munich press conference when pressed on speculation linking him with the England National team job.
The Bayern Munich boss's contract at the German champions expires at the end of the season, although the club upbeat and confident that the catalan will pen a new deal.
However, the English FA are reportedly targeting the Spaniard, 44, to replace Roy Hodgson after Euro 2016.
Guardiola has also frequently been linked with the Manchester City job, but Manuel Pellegrini recently renewed his own contract at the Etihad somewhat reducing the potency of that rumour.
Meanwhile when pressed on the England link at at his pre-match media briefing ahead of Bayern's trip to Mainz on Saturday, Guardiola walked out.
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, 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 he questioned at the start of this, his third season in charge, whether he was indeed the right man for the job much to the amazement of everyone.
