Pep Guardiola will have just one more shot at Champions League glory with Bayern Munich before leaving in the summer.
At least that’s the opinion of German magazine Kicker, whose front page bears the headline “Why Pep Goes”.
Bayern have crushed the competition domestically under the former Barcelona boss, but the 2013 Champions League winners have been unable to add another European trophy to their cabinet.
However the reason for his departure is thought to be an ongoing dispute with the club’s medical staff, dating back to last season.

The news will have English clubs – most notably those from Manchester – licking their lips.
Both United and City have been heavily linked with the Catalan coach, and could find themselves fighting out for his services come the summer.
With Manuel Pellegrini expected to leave the Etihad and Louis van Gaal under pressure at Old Trafford, Guardiola may be seen as the perfect solution, despite some claims to the contrary.
So with Pep leaving Bayern at the end of the season, will United really stick to LvG and not even try to get the Spaniard? #mufc #mcfc
