The former Barcelona coach has aired his
frustration at a lack of respect for the Bavarians
and played down their Champions League
disappointment
Pep Guardiola says it's unrealistic for people to
expect him to win the treble with Bayern
Munich and repeated his desire to stay at the club
The coach has been criticised for the Bavarians'
exit from the Champions League semi-finals at the
hands of Barcelona and being knocked out of the
DFB-Pokal on penalties at the same stage by
Borussia Dortmund.
But the Spaniard has hit back at the expectancy at
the club as a result of predecessor Jupp Heynckes
treble success in 2013.
"If Bayern Munich are looking for a coach that has
to win the treble every year then I'm not the one
they want," he told reporters at a press conferenc
on Friday. "I'm not good enough to do that.
"I've learnt that people talk too much here, my
advice to my critics is to calm down. They should
have more respect for the German champions.
"The Champions League might be the greatest
crown in club football but, for us, winning the
Bundesliga is the most important thing and we did
that."
Guardiola will be hoping Bayern can arrest a run
four consecutive defeats in domestic matches
since they were crowned champions of Germany a
the Allianz Arena against mid-table Mainz on
Saturday.
