Hitzfeld backs Bayern boss Guardiola to take Man City job

Former Bayern Munich manager Ottmar Hitzfeld is adamant current boss Pep Guardiola will leave the German Champions for Premier League outfit Manchester City this summer.

Hitzfeld had two separate stints at Bayern, managing the club between 1998 and 2004, before returning for the 2007/08 season.

The 66-year-old former Swiss national team boss is adamant Guardiola's time at the Allianz Arena is drawing to a close.

"I suspect that Pep will leave Bayern because Manchester City continue turning up with the money, Hitzfeld said.

"There is no reason to wait until December for a decision because no titles are awarded now."
