With Manchester United and Barcelona monitoring developments, Pep Guardiola has made a 'back me or sack me' demand at Bayern Munich. Guardiola's side crashed out of the Champions League semi-finals after a 5-0 aggregate defeat at the hands of Real Madrid on Tuesday night and the Bayern boss has since cast doubt over his future at the German club.
He snapped: "The club must decide if the coach is the right one for the club.
"I have my ideas as a coach. I must convince the players and coach them that way.
"Next season, we will play 100 percent with my ideas. I can't coach this club or players without believing in my ideas.
"If you lose 4-0, something is wrong. I realised after 5/10 minutes we had a problem against Real Madrid.
"When you lose, I always look at myself to see what I did wrong and look to the future."
