Pep Guardiola has gone cold on the prospect of moving to Chelsea next year. Instead, Bayern Munich are new favourites for the ex-Barcelona boss when he ends his 12 month break from the game.

The Daily Mail says Guardiola wants his next job to be a 'long-term project' and that he has misgivings about Stamford Bridge owner Roman Abramovich's reputation for demanding instant success.

The former Barcelona coach wants an assurance he will be allowed time to build a team capable of matching the one he left behind at the Nou Camp and has already been given one by Bayern bosses.
