Pep
Guardiola could be on the move in the new year
|
Pep Guardiola is set to
announce his decision to leave Bayern Munich, according to reports in Spain. The 44-year-old former
Barcelona coach has been strongly linked with Barclays Premier League club Manchester
City, whose interest will be piqued by the anticipated announcement from
Bavaria.
Press Association report continues:
On
Wednesday Marca reported that Guardiola has already informed the Bundesliga
champions he is ready to seek out a new opportunity, the newspaper further
claiming he is prepared to reject a €20 million euro per season offer to
continue at the Allianz Arena.
The
Catalan has twice guided Bayern to the German title but the Champions League
trophy has eluded him, with Real Madrid and then Barcelona eliminating the
Bavarians in 2014 and 2015.
He
took a year's sabbatical after four successful seasons leading Barca and was
announced as Jupp Heynckes' summer replacement in the Bayern dugout back in
January 2013.
Manuel
Pellegrini remains in charge of City, but the two-time Premier League champions
could be tempted to move quickly and secure Guardiola's services should he make
himself available in the new year. Manchester United and Chelsea have also been
linked with the former Spain midfielder.
