One More Opinion On Pep Choosing Bayern

Everybody has had their say on Pep Guardiola’s choice to snub the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 in order to take over as manager of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich at the end of the season but former Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves may have the best view.

Guardiola has been constantly linked with taking over at Europe’s top sides after his self imposed year long exile from management but the Bavarian side have secured the signature of the world’s most eligible manager. The Spaniard, who is known for making Barcelona the best side in the world, was also linked with the manager’s spot at Hargreaves’ former sides Manchester United and Manchester City but the former England international believes Pep has made the best choice,”There aren’t many clubs within European football that have the stability and structure that Bayern Munich has in place.

“People look at the glamour of the Premier League and its global appeal but I think he probably saw the structure in place at the club, the success of the club and quality of the players. And the facilities and the stadiums are better than anywhere in the world, I would guess.

“I think he’s probably looked at all aspects and, in my opinion rightfully so, thought that’s the best destination for him.”

Hargreaves has had little else to do since being released by Manchester City at the end of last season, putting the end to a torrid time in English football where he spent more time on the treatment table than on the pitch.
