I totally agree with your thoughts on this, however i think the most important factor was the structure of the club itself. The best club in Germany alongside of being the most famous, one of the few clubs that won the 3 major European competitions, WORLD class training facilities (i think much better than Chelsea an Manchester city by far..), Youth House culture ; again, cant even be compared to MAN C and Chelsea and even if it could, the culture of promoting youngsters is far more developed and it is almost an intrinsic value of BM. Guardiola is a very intelligent person and quite methodical and i am sure his aim is to do something like mourinho did with Chelsea (not that linear, but it can be related). Furthermore, if BM can win trophies with jupp heynckes (my personal opinion of him is not very good as you can state on the irony of this line) imagine what they can aspire with a proper coach. Anyway keep up the good work and best regards from a PT guy living in Hungary but still follows you with admiration due to your excellent work over the years.

peps choice is superb!! bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world. abramowitsch and the sheikk from city arent guardiolas-class. he likes history and he can work with former world-class players like sammer, hoeness, rummenigge and beckenbauer in the management. and he has a very talented squad...and enough money to get some players he want...isco, goetze, munian or suarez.

Pep left Barça as he was tired of Mou. Mou can make a 24/7 war on his rivals all the season. Pep will not go to the Premier, where he will likely found him again, after Real Madrid kicks him, making his life miserable.

Pep will be under plenty of pressure at Bayern. However, I believe Bayern offer Pep the best path to success in the short and long term. Their playing philosophy is much closer to Barcelona than the English clubs mentioned and their roster is also much better suited to Pep's ideals. Both Chelsea and Man City would have required several seasons to fit Guardiolas style.

I think Pep will work well in Bayern despite the fact that he will have much pressure and expectation to win from fans of Bayern. Although his success is predictable, what is required for him to succeed?
First of all, mastering German is essential. Language is the most important tool to connect the thought of players and that of the boss. I have ever seen many players who could not play well because of the lack of understanding which comes from the difference in native language. Thus, it is better for him to learn German as soon as possible, but I heard he has already started, so it does not matter.
Secondly, he must be accustomed to the style in Bundesliga from that in Barcelona. Players in Bundesliga are physically strong, which is totally different from those in Barcelona. I am looking forward to his new styles of football.
Finally, although he will be under much pressure, he must not lose himself to get as many titles as he achieved in Barcelona.
To try new challenge is very tough for everyone. I will enjoy watching how Pep will thrive in Germany and his adaptability toward new surroundings.

he is waiting for man u managerial job...after sir ferguson leaves in 3-4 years time...mean while win the bundesliga with a good team who will win it this year without him anyway....and if he is lucky win the champions league too...PS he wouldn't want to join chelesea for the hire n fire reasons ...n man city because of the cross city rivalry when he would step into man u later...love to see bayern vs barca in champions league in the 3 seasons he will be there!

I wish Pep good luck at Bayern. He's still one of the best coaches around. So we expect him to win trophies, including the champions league in Germany.

running scared of Mourinho!!! nice try Pep, cuz you know Mourinho is never going to manage in Germany.

What Pedro Pinto just said makes sense of course. But the difference of this is what really makes Mourinho the best couch and you can not compare him to Pep or Del Bosque becouse he (Mourinho) takes the most difficult jobs such as couching Chelsea, Inter and niw Real. In this clubs , owners want immediat results and he gives al least 50%. Pep of course knew that he would have the same destiny as the brasilian Scolari ou Di Mateo, etc. He took the easiest job of course where the team is already strong and leading.

Bayern is a big club with a rich history. Wishing, Pep, his players and fans exciting times ahead.

Good thinking, good timing. He has made a good decision by moving to a Bayern side that has a great promise with less pressure from the owners unlike what he would have faced in England. He couldn't have made a better decision. In England he will always be on the spotlight and with the kind of person I sense Guardiola is, a place like England won't be good for his career at least not for now.
