The 41-year-old has dismissed any links with the vacant managerial job at Stamford Bridge and denies ever meeting with the owner or any of his representatives
Pep Guardiola has distanced himself from the vacant Chelsea job after confirming he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season.
Guardiola’s recent decision to announce his resignation as Barcelona boss has increased speculation that he will take over as manager of the Premier League club next season.
However the Spaniard has confirmed he is not interested in the job as he is to take a break from the game.
"I never met with Roman Abramovich nor any Chelsea representative. I'm not interesting in coaching now," he told reporters.
"My desire is to make other things, maybe sometime in the future I will go back to a bench, but I don't know at the moment.
"I don't have anything to prove, I'm not interested in proving myself abroad and will go away from football at the moment."
Guardiola's apparent non-interest in the job at Stamford Bridge may strengthen current interim boss, Roberto Di Matteo's own claim to the Chelsea hot seat.
Di Matteo has turned Chelsea’s season around as they knocking out Barcelona to reach the Champions League final and also securing a spot in the FA Cup final.
Di Matteo was reportedly only seen as high as third choice in the mind of Abramovich, however, with the Spaniard's recent comments, he may now become one fo the clear favourites.
