Beckenbauer: Bayern and Guardiola belong together
The legendary defender is hopeful the coach will
remain at the Allianz Arena beyond next summer
as he feels he is the perfect fit for the clubBayern
Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer
believes Pep Guardiola should stay at the Bavarian
club because they are a perfect fit for each other.
Guardiola inspired Bayern to a 5-1 humbling of
supposed title-challengers Borussia Dortmund on
Sunday with the win maintaining the defending
Bundesliga champions' 100 per cent start to the
new season and moving them seven points clear
at the top of the table after eight games.
Former Barcelona boss Guardiola's contract
expires in June 2016 and he has yet to commit
his future to Bayern, but Beckenbauer believes
their working relationship is close to perfection.
He told Sky : "You should never separate what
belongs together.
"He's very talkative and witty. His training
sessions are like a show. His players could get a
pass to their team-mates with a blindfold on."
Bayern executive board chairman Karl-Heinz
Rummenigge reiterated that the club and Guardiola
would sit down between now and Christmas to
discuss an extension to his contract.
He told Sport1.de : "I've always said that we
would sit down in the second half of 2015 and that
leaves us still a few months.
"There's a lot on the table which is pro-
Bayern and a game like this one against
Dortmund is bound to make the coach happy too."
