Ottmar Hitzfeld is convinced Pep Guardiola will leave Bayern Munich for Manchester City
Ottmar Hitzfeld fuelled the rumours that Guardiola will take over at the Etihad Stadium at the end of his Bayern contract this summer.
With Bayern pressing Guardiola for a decision, Hitzfeld believes the Spaniard's mind is already made up.
He said: "I suspect that Pep will leave Bayern because Manchester City continue turning up with the money. There is no reason to wait until December for a decision because no titles are awarded now."
