The Dutchman wants his manager to stay at the German
club beyond the end of his current deal and to ignore the
interest from England
Arjen Robben has pleaded for Bayern Munich head coach
Josep Guardiola to stay with the German champions
beyond the end of his current contract.
The Catalan's deal in Bavaria expires at the end of the
season and he's yet to commit his future to the club
beyond that point.
Reports on Spanish radio station COPE last week
suggested he has already agreed a deal to take over from
Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City next summer, while
Manchester United has also been touted as a possible
destination.
Speaking at an event for a Bayern supporters club, Robben
said: "We have one of the best coaches in the world and
as many of our players have already said, we all want him
to stay.
"It is a lot of fun working with him. Tactically he is
perhaps the best - and I don't say that just because he's
our coach at the moment.
"He is also a perfect human fit with Bayern."
Guardiola has been in at the Allianz Arena since 2013,
during which time there has been speculation that Robben
himself would leave the club.
However, the Dutchman, who turns 32 in January, claims
he's never thought about leaving, nor does he imagine
leaving while he still has time on his contract.
"I never thought about a transfer [away from Bayern]," he
continued.
"I am happy in Munich; my family is happy in Munich.
"My contract runs until 2017. You can't look too far
forward in football, but everything is fine at the moment - I
hope things continue this way."
