The name Pep Guardiola was also associated with FC Bayern and the search for a coach. Now his management is speaking out.
According to Pep Guardiola’s management, the coach’s return to the German record champions for the new season is out of the question. “Pep carries FC Bayern in his heart, but he doesn’t want to leave Manchester City this summer. He is very happy and has a contract until 2025. A return to FC Bayern is not an option,” said the consulting agency Tacticgrup when asked by Sky with.
On Monday, the trade magazine “Kicker” reported in its edition that there were “whispers on Säbener Strasse that the bosses are dreaming of Pep Guardiola’s return.” The Catalan coached the Munich team from 2013 to 2016 and confidently led them to the championship three times, and the Champions League ended in the semi-finals three times.
Guardiola then moved on to the “Citizens”, with whom he won the treble last year and still has a good chance of winning the fourth English championship title in a row this year.
The Munich team, who missed out on the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2012, are looking for a successor to Thomas Tuchel next season. The preferred candidates Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen), Julian Nagelsmann (German national team) and Ralf Rangnick (Austrian national team) have committed themselves to their employers and have extended their contracts (Nagelsmann).
