Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has claimed that manager Pep Guardiola will extend his contract with the club.
The Spanish coach, whose current deal expires at the end of this season, has been heavily linked with Manchester City in recent months.
Despite the reports suggesting that Guardiola will leave, Rummenigge is confident that the former Barcelona man will remain at the Allianz Arena.
"One thing is clear; we have a good team. And a good team needs a good coach," he told German news agency DPA.
"We had one in Jupp Heynckes, and we have one now in Pep Guardiola. I am definitely optimistic that Pep will stay beyond June 30, 2016.
"The coach feels good. He has a good team. It helps to have Munich as a city. There's a lot going for Pep Guardiola deciding for Bayern Munich."
Guardiola has won two Bundesliga titles, the German Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup during his two seasons at Bayern.
