Bayern Munchen manager Pep Guardiola has dismissed suggestions that he will be distracted by his move to Manchester City, insisting he will continue to do his job in Bavaria.

The Spaniard confirmed at the turn of the year that he would depart the German giants at the end of the current campaign, sparking speculation over where he would ply his trade in England.

His destination was finally announced earlier this week, following Manuel Pellegrini's revelation that he would be leaving the Etihad Stadium at the end of the 2015/16 season.

The Citizens issued a statement just minutes after Pellegrini departed the press conference, confirming that Guardiola would replace the Chilean manager.

As such, much of the talk this week has revolved around Guardiola's move to the Citizens. However, the former Barca boss is paying no attention to the speculation.

When asked if he would find it difficult to stay focused on the task at hand, Guardiola told reporters: "Why would it be difficult?

"I am like a woman, I can multi-task and control both situations. I have a big talent for this."

He added: "I cannot say something every week about it. It is another four months and for me it is not a problem. Newspapers can continue attacking and I will continue doing my job.

"Coaches get little respect these days. It is everywhere like that. In Madrid, Barcelona, Germany, England.

"There are respectable papers here that have not asked me a single question on football in these three years.

"But that comes with the job. I do not understand it but I can live with it."
