Rumour:Pep Guardiola Set To Leave Bayern Munich

Bayern coach Pep Guardiola will not resign a new contract at Munich. The gaffer will move on to a Premier League club where there is stiff competition.

Pep Guardiola will not be signing a new contract at Bayern Munich. The Catalan has informed the suits at the Allianz Arena that he has made his mind up to seek out pastures new. He feels that things have reached breaking point because of a fundamental disconnect between his footballing philosophy and the club's ethos, not to mention certain man-management issues he has had with the squad.

As far as Guardiola is concerned, there is no turning back. The way he sees it, his time in charge of the Bundesliga champions has run its course and prolonging his stay beyond the end of this season could do both the club and himself more harm than good.


There isn't the same level of tension that was in the air when he left Barcelona, but he believes that remaining in charge of Bayern beyond this campaign is simply not an option.The Bayern higher-ups have tried to twist Guardiola's arm every which way, as evidenced by the 20-million-euro-a-season offer that they put on the table, as reported in the German press after the first set of talks took place.

However, money is not the be-all and end-all for the former midfielder and not even this eye-watering sum was enough to make the in-demand tactician reconsider his decision to leave.
