Pep’s Agent Plays Down Bayern Links

Pep Guardiola’s agent, Josep Maria Orobitg, has dismissed any suggestion that the Manchester City boss could succeed Niko Kovac at Bayern Munich next year.

Kovac was relieved of his managerial duties at Allianz Arena after the reigning Bundesliga champions were beaten 5-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt on November 2.

Guardiola has now been sounded out for a possible return to Bayern , having spent three trophy-laden seasons with the club between 2013 and 2016.

The ex-Barcelona tactician is now working his magic in the Premier League with City, where he is contracted to remain until 2021.

And Orobitg insists Guardiola “feels good” at the Etihad Stadium and that no one from Bayern has been in touch to discuss a possible switching of employment.

“In football, nothing is certain,” Orobitg told Goal and Spox .

“I spoke with Pep last Wednesday, and everything is the same: He feels good at Manchester City and also in the city of Manchester, and he has a contract until June 30, 2021.

“Nobody but the press contacted me about the future Pep.”
