Fernandinho denies claims by Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro he has been offered a coaching role with Manchester City and says he will delay a decision on his future until the end of the season

Fernandinho has denied claims by Atletico Mineiro's club director that he has been offered a coaching role by Manchester City and says that he won't make a decision on his future until the end of the season.

The 35-year-old, who joined City in 2013 and is contracted to the club until this summer, is on the Brazilian club's radar, but Rodrigo Caetano told O Tempo that Fernandinho had already been asked to become Pep Guardiola's assistant and that Atletico had not spoken to the player's representatives.

However, the three-time Premier League winner disputed Caetano's account.
