Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has insisted his decision over a new contract is not dependent on the club continuing to win trophies.
Guardiola's current deal expires at the end of the season and he has yet to announce whether he will pen a fresh agreement, but urged people not to panic over the situation.
He said on www.fcbarcelona.cat: "People need to be calm. I know what I'm doing.
"I know when I have to do it and how it needs to be done."
Barca's Club World Cup triumph last weekend, secured with a 4-0 final victory over Santos in Yokohama, was the team's 13th title since Guardiola took up the reins in summer 2008.
The 40-year-old former Spain midfielder claimed the constant questioning on his future did not bother him, clarifying that winning more titles "has nothing to do with my decision".
He added: "It always helps the stability of the club. When I make that decision I will contact the president [Sandro Rosell]."
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho earlier this week played down Barca's achievement in Japan, appearing to scoff at the feat, offering sarcastic congratulations for winning "two little games" and stating he would prefer to win the Champions League.
Guardiola was gracious when asked for his thoughts on the Portuguese's comments, saying: "The Madrid manager wanted to congratulate us, and we thank him. Everything he says is given too much importance. There are no problems."
He added: "He has every liberty to opine. He said the Champions League is more important than the Club World Cup, and he's right."
The only sour note of Barca's recent trip to Japan was the broken shinbone suffered by striker David Villa in the semi-final win over Al-Sadd.
Guardiola visited the 30-year-old Spain forward, who underwent surgery on Monday and is expected to be sidelined for four to five months, and revealed he was in good spirits.
"Villa is very encouraged, lively," said the Barca boss.
"This will make him stronger and prolong his career. He'll realise how lucky he is and he'll take everything on with much more desire."
Guardiola also confirmed he had no plans to send forward Isaac Cuenca out on loan in the second half of the campaign.
"Because we lost Villa, I'm sure he'll be with us until the end of the season," he added.
Barca, who picked up both the La Liga and Champions League trophies last term but were denied the Copa del Rey crown by Mourinho's Madrid in the final in Valencia, welcome Hospitalet to the Nou Camp on Thursday night in the second leg of their fourth-round tie.
