Pep
Guardiola will take over from Jupp Heynckes as Bayern Munich coach at
the end of the season. The 41-year-old former Barca boss, who has signed
a deal with the Bundesliga club until 2016, has been on a sabbatical
from the game since leaving Camp Nou in 2012 having won 14 trophies with
the Liga side during his four seasons in charge.
Guardiola
who had been linked with a host of top-flight clubs across Europe
including Manchester City and Chelsea, has now signed a three-year deal
with the German side.
In
a statement announcing the snapping up of the Spaniard, Bayern CEO
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said “We are very happy that we managed to land
the expert Pep Guardiola for our club. He was contacted by lots of big
clubs”.
“Pep
is one of the most succesful coaches in the world and we are
convoinced, that he will not only shine for Bayern but for the whole of
German football. We look forward to our common work from July 2013 on.“
