Bayern Munich are making a shock move for former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. BILD says Bayern have made contact with Guardiola about succeeding Jupp Heynckes for the new season.

Bayern chief Christian Nerlinger attended Barca's Copa del Rey victory at the end of last season and there's also suggestions extensive talks have been held with Guardiola's brother, Pere Guardiola.

The former Barca coach is expected to take a year off from football and spend it in New York with his family - though for the moment, no serious move has been made.
