What to Expect From Bayern Munich Now

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the FC Bayern chief executive, said in a statement that they are grateful to Guardiola and for everything he’s given their club since the summer of 2013. Since it’s been confirmed that Guardiola will be leaving FC Bayern at the end of the season, he’s convinced that Guardiola and their team will now work even more intensively towards achieving their major sporting goals.

Rummenigge added by saying, Ancelotti is a balanced coaching expert who knows how to deal with stars and favours a multidimensional style of play. “We were looking for this and we have found it” – Rummenigge said.

Titles Achieved by Guardiola

44-year-old Guardiola has won back to back titles with FC Bayern and also won the German Cup in 2014. However, he has failed to win the two Champions League Cups he won while in charge of Barcelona.

Carlo Ancelotti who will replace Guardiola has won the Champions League titles three times, once with Real Madrid and twice with AC Milan and he has also helped Chelsea reach the Premier League title finals and FA Cup in 2010.
