Bayern Munich are considering SACKING Pep Guardiola over his commitment to Manchester City.

The Sunday Express says while outgoing Etihad boss Manuel Pellegrini maintains both his composure and dignity a German storm is beginning to engulf his successor.

His Bayern bosses, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Uli Hoeness and Matthias Sammer who even in the best of times have a somewhat fractured relationship with the former Barcelona manager, are unhappy that Guardiola has already committed to City with important months of the season still to go.

Although the Bundesliga title appears bound for the Allianz Arena, Bayern bosses are not judged on domestic football.

The Champions League is the litmus test for anyone connected with the Bavarian giants and the three former German internationals who effectively run the club are worried that Guardiola's mind is already elsewhere.
