Pep Guardiola’s impending departure sparks rumours of unrest at Bayern Munich



There are reports of unrest in the Bayern Munich squad, with magazine Kicker quoting a player saying the atmosphere is "not good" ahead of Pep Guardiola's departure.

Bayern are in rude health in the Bundesliga table, eight points clear and on course to win a record fourth straight league title. But off the pitch, there are rumours Guardiola is losing the dressing room having announced last month that he will leave at the end of the season after three years in Bavaria.

Guardiola, 45, who says he wants to coach in England, has come under pressure after centre-back Jerome Boateng last Friday became the 14th Bayern player to pick up an injury this season.

Long-time team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt abruptly ceased working with the team last season after an apparent fallout with Guardiola.

Another possible reason for discontent emerged when Arjen Robben admitted to Dutch television last month that he was “annoyed” by Guardiola’s decision to leave.

He is unlikely to be the only Bayern star irritated by the Spaniard going public about his departure with only half the season gone.

“I’m annoyed about it. It’s a real shame,” Robben told Dutch television station NOS.
