FC Bayern Munich, Bavaria, Germany.

The invitation to participate in the Deutsche Telekom Cup is nothing more than a small matter for Bayern.

They don't really care about that, it's the team's results next season that they really care about compared to the Telecom Cup!

The Bundesliga giants have had a pretty poor season in the past few seasons, and they have not won the title for two years.

Last season, he was beaten twice by his direct rival Dortmund in the league, and then lost 2:5 to his opponent in the final of the German Cup, and was completely beaten by Dortmund unilaterally.

This is a great shame for Bayern Munich!

If the disappointment of the league can be exchanged for the championship trophy in the Champions League, it is not unacceptable.

But sadly, the team also failed to win in the Champions League.

In 2010-2011 they fell to the round of 16 and in 2011-2012 they fell to the final...

Bayern would love to write a big word on the ground......

Fortunately, under the leadership of the veteran coach Heynckes, the team's form has steadily improved.

Reaching the Champions League final last season is already a good testament, and I believe that with some more time, he will definitely lead Bayern back to the top.

However, in this case, Heynckes came up with the idea of retirement, which caught Bayern off guard.

How important a good coach is, Bayern Munich knows very well.

Their previous arrival of coach Louis van Gaal led the team to the worst start in the club's history, with a three-tier rout in the league, cup and Champions League.

This caused the angry club to fire him without waiting for the end of the season to come back to his old coach Heynckes.

It turns out that it is still the old coach who is more suitable for Bayern.

After Heynckes took office, he not only stopped the decline and led Bayern to the Champions League final.

Had it not been for the unlucky penalty shoot-out defeat to Chelsea, the team would have won the Champions League trophy last year.

This season, Bayern's young players have grown up and the team's tactical system has matured.

They are aiming for league titles and even the Champions League this season, and if they can win these two important titles, then Bayern will be back at the top of Europe.

But just when they were full of ambition and planned to rebuild the Bayern dynasty, Heynckes actually wanted to retire.

This is a little overwhelming for Bayern!

Heynckes was born in 1945, and at 67 years old, he is indeed a bit old.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager of Manchester United who is 4 years older than him, has not retired, and the old coach can take it for a few more years!

Facing the president of the club who came to persuade him, Rummenigge, the old coach shook his head:

"President Rummenigge, thank you for your retention and for your strong support over the years.

I've made my decision though, and you know I'm a person who doesn't really like to live in the spotlight.

68 years old is a bit old for me, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the old bones if I continue to lead the team to compete.

Moreover, I want to retire home while I can still move, plant some flowers and plants, and enjoy the rural life.

So, please don't keep it, I promise you, I'll finish the season and I won't leave until the last game of the season is over.

In the meantime, you'll have plenty of time to get in touch with other great coaches, hear their coaching philosophies, and find the best fit for Bayern.

Of course, I can give you some reference and advice when necessary. ”

Heynckes just spoke to the club first so that the club could prepare in advance.

Otherwise, if he suddenly announces his retirement next year and the club does not find a suitable successor, then Bayern will definitely mess up.

Hearing Heynckes' words, Rummenigge was disappointed.

How easy is it to find a good coach?

In today's football, the best coaches are basically famous, and it may not be so easy to poach them.

Although Bayern can call the wind and rain in the Bundesliga, in the five major leagues, their financial resources are simply not comparable to those top giants.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Heynckes was retiring, Rummenigge felt a great headache.

He even had the idea of bringing back the team's legendary coach Heathfield, who was in charge of the Swiss national team, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

The team's poor results have proven that Heathfield's set is outdated and no longer suits the current team.

He needs to find a coach with outstanding coaching ability and a unique understanding of the latest tactics in football, especially passing tactics.

"Chairman, there is a person who seems to fit our requirements, and he happens to be idle at home at the moment, and he has no job, why don't we send him an invitation and try to contact him?"

Club manager Uli Hoeness heard Rummenigge's request and instantly thought of someone.

And he had heard the grapevine before, this person had been to Germany a few months ago, and I don't know if he received an offer to coach a Bundesliga team.

If that's the case, it proves that it's possible for the other side to coach in the Bundesliga.

In the entire Bundesliga, except for Dortmund, Bayern is not scared, and Dortmund's Klopp will not roll up and leave for a while.

So the club that invited that person will not be Dortmund, as long as it is not Dortmund, Bayern have every confidence that they can snatch him.

"Who?"

Rummenigge asked curiously.

"Former Barcelona manager, Pep Guardiola!"

"Him?!"

Hearing the name, Rummenigge's eyes lit up!

There are many top coaches in football today, and there are only two coaches in the limelight: Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho!

These two are at the top level of football in terms of strength and fame, especially the former.

The transmission system pioneered by Pep Guardiola has swept the entire football world in recent years and has become the object of imitation around the world.

Invite him to coach Bayern Munich and bring Barcelona's set to Bayern, won't Bayern take off directly?

As soon as he thought of this, Rummenigge couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Now only one last question remains: "Will Pep Guardiola agree to our invitation?" ”

He is a little unconfident, the other party doesn't even want Barcelona, can he accept Bayern's invitation?

The competitiveness of the Bundesliga is much worse than that of La Liga, and the commercial development is not good enough, so it has not been very attractive to top coaches.

"How do you know if you don't try it? I've heard that his adopted son plays in the Bundesliga, a team that happens to be our opponent in the Telecom Cup next month.

I think we can invite him in the name of watching the Telecom Cup competition, and when he comes, you will personally come forward to interview him and show him your sincerity, and whether you can achieve the results of the two-sided talks. ”

Hoeness's preparations have obviously been very thorough, and even Lin Quan's relationship with Pep Guardiola, as well as his play in the Bundesliga, have been investigated in advance.

Obviously, the idea of inviting Pep Guardiola to coach was not a whim, but a long-term plan.

Rummenigge stared at Hoeness for a few seconds, and after reading it, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I'll leave this matter to you, don't mess things up!"
