BERLIN (Reuters) – Bayern Munich and coach Pep Guardiola will part ways after three seasons at the end of the current campaign and Italian Champions League-winning coach Carlo Ancelotti will replace the Spaniard, club Chief Executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said on Sunday. “We are thankful to Guardiola for all he gave our club and hope to celebrate more success in the current season,” Rummenigge told Bild newspaper. “With Ancelotti we have another very successful coach coming to Bayern. We are looking forward to working together.” Guardiola’s departure was widely expected with several top Premier League clubs reportedly interested in the 44-year-old former Barcelona coach. The Spaniard took over after Bayern’s 2012-13 treble-winning season and consolidated their domestic dominance with back-to-back league titles and a German Cup in his first two seasons in charge. But he has yet to lead them to the Champions League title with Bayern losing at the semi-final stage on their previous two attempts. Bayern are top of the league this season and through to the Champions League knockout stage and can still win the treble. The 56-year-old Ancelotti is a three-time Champions League winner and has also won a string of domestic titles with AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris St Germain, Juventus and Real Madrid, his most recent appointment. “I am very honoured that I will be the coach of the big FC Bayern Munich from next season,” Ancelotti said.

<strong>Josep 'Pep' Guardiola</strong> is a Spanish football manager and former professional player, who is the current coach of the English club Manchester City FC.
<h3><strong>Career and Achievements</strong></h3>
After kicking it off with FC Barcelona's academy at the age of 13, Guardiola made his senior debut in 1990. As a defensive midfielder, he had notable stints at Barcelona, Brescia, and AS Roma in Italy, Al Ahli SC in Qatar, and Dorados in Mexico. In his international career, Guardiola played for the Spanish national team and a few friendlies for Catalonia. Although his playing career was nothing short of remarkable, Guardiola as a manager towers over it.

When he took on a managerial role, his first assignment was the Barcelona B team in 2007. A year later, he was promoted to manager of the senior team. In Barcelona's most glorious days, to lead them to records and titles including sextuple, Guardiola was at the helm. More importantly, under Guardiola, Barcelona became highly disciplined with more focus on ball possession. He also employed a disciplined and aggressive pressing style which clearly worked out well.

He often played a high defensive line with the fullbacks pushing high up their respective sides. During the 2011-12 season, Guardiola employed the 3-4-3 line-up, especially when facing two attackers. Following the same season, he took a year-long sabbatical.

In 2013, Guardiola returned to manage Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. He remained with the team until the 2015-16 season. With the Bavarians, he won 3 Bundesliga, DFB-Pokals, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

After leaving Bayern in 2016, he signed with Manchester City in the Premier League and their sagacious tale still goes on, having won many trophies including 5 EPL titles, and a UCL so far.
