Speaking about Guardiola, the chairman noted:

I think I know where he is going. But I want to leave the announcement to him or his new employer. At the Christmas party two weeks ago he came to me, he told me that he was looking for a new challenge and almost apologised. It was clearly difficult for him, I’m not disappointed in him.I could see that Guardiola had really grown to love Bayern and its fans.

Guardiola, a former Barcelona coach has won two Bundesliga titles, one DFB-Pokal, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup with the Allianz Arena side, but will leave after choosing not to renew his contract.
