Barcelona boss Guardiola shrugs off Chelsea links

Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has laughed off suggestions that he is set to take the Chelsea job.

The Spaniard has been heavily linked with the role following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas but he was tongue-in-cheek when pressed on the issue at today's press conference.

"Yes, yes, sure, I speak to Chelsea every day," Guardiola joked.

Guardiola then said that Villas-Boas is a good manager but fell victim to the fact he did not achieve the required results at Stamford Bridge.

"He's a fantastic coach, but results are the most important thing in football," he added.
