one-year extension with Bayern Munich and finish the
job he started in 2013.
Former Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld feels it would
make sense if Pep Guardiola were to sign a one-year extension
with the Bundesliga champions.
Guardiola's existing deal with Bayern is due to expire at the end
of the 2015-16 campaign and he recently re-iterated that he is in
no rush to make a decision on his long-term future.
Hitzfeld has advised the former Barcelona coach to sign a new
contract until June 2017, though, as both parties would benefit
from such an agreement.
"A one-year extension would be a good solution for both Bayern
and Guardiola," Hitzfeld told Bild.
"A one-year deal would not work when a coach just arrives at a
club, but it would make sense after three years.
"Guardiola has rebuilt the team at Bayern and is nearly done
doing so. Bayern are playing some outstanding football. It is
now important to continue on the same path.
"With a one-year extension, both sides still have some freedom,
but also have certainty."
Guardiola has guided Bayern to successive Bundesliga titles
since joining them in 2013, but Champions League glory has so
far evaded him, the Bavarian giants crashing out in the semi-
finals in the past two seasons.
