The "Bayern" never loved Guardiola
The "Bayern" never loved Guardiola
In the summer Pep Guardiola left the firm "Bayern" and hoped that it would withdraw triumphantly along the lines of its predecessor Jupp Heynckes in 2013
But the truth is that the two cases are quite different and the only similarity between them is that their withdrawal know early on.
Until the end everything had to remain secret, very clear. But there was no information on how to be withheld. They ran like water through a sieve of different channels and finally on Sunday from "Bayern" were forced to confirm: Guardiola leaves Ancelotti comes with a 3-year contract, the coaching change will be in the summer. Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was quick to thank Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti welcomed.
From here on, it follows that in the spring "Bayern" will be led by a coach who is limited in time.
By the summer Guardiola will try to do what was taken - to win the Champions League.
So far, he has won two titles in Germany and a bowl of the country, but evil tongues say that with these stars at the head of "Bayern" would not succeed and host club! A question from here is whether it will now play a lame duck? So in the US called the presidents who are at the end of their mandates and are no longer able to work because all instances already waiting for their heirs.
The sports director of "Bayern" Matthias Sammer flatly rejected such an option, but what else could he do? Pep certainly will not be part of the planning of the squad for the new season. But that does not mean automatically that players will see it in another light.
"The contract of Heynckes also running out, but we won the treble," love to go back to 2013 Rummenigge. Yes, Jupp Heynckes spent his last six months in "Bayern" with the disadvantage that the withdrawal is safe. Early in the year, then the club have announced that Heynckes will leave voluntarily because they want to renew the contract. A little later, Uli Hoeneß admitted the truth:
"Yes, I think that Heynckes wanted to continue at least another year. We are very thankful that he set out to make theater!" The rest of the story is well known - "Bayern" recorded the most successful season in their history and Heynckes leave triumphant. And it was nice that leaves such a heavy legacy of Guardiola. And Catalan definitely was hard. Because under his leadership domination level Germany has become grotesque, but in the Champions League was eliminated 2 times per half-final.
Is now history Heynckes will not happen again? There is one crucial difference. Heynckes did not leave alone. Along tales Uli Hoeneß became publicly known that Jupp was dismissed. And just from there I went a heroic epic. Players who adored him, went to fight for their deposed coach. To whom it was spared the embarrassment of having to choose from. Under Guardiola, however, is another.
Thomas Muller says that the contractual relationship coach are not important, but in today's football success is decided by some strange details that especially in the psychological aspect can be decisive. A Pep hereafter is in the position of coach who is standing against the team.
Team, putting captain Philipp Lahm to him to ask him to stay on behalf of all. This is his team, Pep his mark, tame it according to their understanding. But the more dominant one coach, the greater the feeling that something was wrong. Whether in Munich have not promised him heaven? Pep could continue to invest in players had tranquility, the city loved his family. Yet it will be moved. And this is not something that players will understand easily.
Most likely this development will first be accepted by the fans. Guardiola has never been close to their hearts of "Allianz Arena" never heard songs in his honor, he was never loved by Heynckes, Hitzfeld or latex. With his sense of interpersonal relations fans quickly realized that Pep passes only transit in Munich.
He is not someone who pays tribute to the club and serve him humbly and feels engaged only with his project. And keep going when you feel attracted to other projects. Maybe he gave "Bayern" treble of separation. But even this will not become a new Heynckes ...
