Former Barcelona boss, Pep Guardiola, has agreed to take over German side Bayern Munich at the end of the 2012-2013 campaign. Guardiola stepped down as coach of FC Barcelona at the end of the 2011-2012 campaign. He won 14 trophies during his 4-year reign at FC Barcelona. He is considered one the best manager in the world. Chelsea FC and Manchester City were interested in his signature. Bayern Munich announced in Wednesday evening that Guardiola will replace Jupp Heynckes, who is retiring at the end of this season. The announcement came a day after Guardiola expressed his interest in managing an English team. Guardiola's choice makes sense because Roman Abramovich (Chelsea FC owner) is too unstable. He fires too many managers too often. While the Manchester City's owners are not interested in bringing up players but just spending big money on big players. Guardiola likes to use the club's youth academy to raise young stars. Chelsea and Man City don't have great youth systems. Bayern Munich have a great youth academy and their team is dominated by native German players unlike Chelsea or Man City. I think it is a sensible move from him. Hopefully he will do great for the club and be as success full at Bayern as he was in Barcelona. This is a great deal for Bayern.
Good write up, Nawin
