Manchester City could be another possible future employer, with Guardiola having worked previously with their chief executive Ferran Soriano and director of football Txiki Beguiristain during his time at Barca, while speculation over Louis van Gaal’s future at Manchester United could make a move to Old Trafford a possibility. But Guardiola’s team was torn apart by Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid 4-0 in Munich to go out 5-0 on aggregate in the semifinals of the Champions League.

New Orleans could compile their worst record in the Sean Payton-Drew Brees era with a loss in one of the final two games. The Detroit Lions behind quarterback Matthew Stafford led 28-3 in the third quarter before New Orleans rallied.
Ancelotti was confirmed as Guardiola’s replacement on Sunday, with the Italian due to take over at the end of the season.
The Spanish manager’s success at Barcelona and Bayern Munich means that he can choose from any top club in Europe and there are suitors aplently, especially in the rich circle of the Premier League. Despite the clubâs willingness for him to stay on, Guardiola chose to leave after three seasons in charge.
In the same statement, Ancelotti said “it’s an honour for me to be a part of this great club next season”. Bayern is leading the Bundesliga, it has reached the quarterfinals of the German Cup and is in the knockout stage of the Champions League, with Juventus looming as the next rival. “I am sure he will be very important for the club”.
“What we sought, we found”, Rummenigge said.
It remains to be seen how the players will react to a lame-duck coach, despite Guardiola’s record and reputation.
Guardiola, who took over Heynckes’ treble-winning side in 2013, led Bayern to the Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup that same year, a German league and cup double in 2014, and another Bundesliga title in 2015.
