Pep Talks- Los Ches

Jupp Hynckes to Retire at The End of The Season

Bayern Munich manager Jupp Hynckes has announced that he will retire at the end of the season. The 67 year old has said that the 2011-12 season will be his last in charge and the decision comes after Dortmund reclaimed their Bundesliga title for the 2nd time in a row.

He announced the decision to the players today and it has been reported that many of the players were crying due to their close relationship with Hynckes and they were all sad to see him leave. He then spoke to press later on and told them the reason behind his decision.

“Look I am 67. I am old now and I feel it is the right time to step down. I feel it is best for the club if I leave and that they also have a younger manager that can lead a revolution here and make this club great once again. I love it here, it was not an easy decision. I want to wish the club and the players all the best in the future and I know that this club will have great success.

Jupp was later questioned of he knew anything about the new manager but denied claims he had anything to do with the appointment of a new manager.

“I have no idea who will take charge”, added Hynckes. “I am not in charge of the club the Chairman is and it is his job to hire a new manager. All I ask is that the fans get behind the new boss and support him all the way”.

Reports suggest that Jose Mourinho might be on his way to the Alianz Arena but names like Rafa Benitez, Pep Guardiola and also Arsene Wenger are being linked with the hottest job in world football at the moment.

Jose Mourinho Distances Himself From Bayern Job

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has said he is not interested in taking the Bayern Munich job. The Portuguese coach said he is happy at Madrid and that he wants to continue coaching there for years to come. Many people believe that Jose was the favourite to take the job but after his latest press conference he has said he is not interested in taking the job.

“I am happy here, why would I want to go to Bayern? I have the best job in football here so why would I leave. If they want someone special then they must ask me but I have not been in contact with Bayern at all”.

“They are a good club but Real are better”, said Mourinho. “We have a great setup here and I don’t want to leave it. I have not accomplished my aims here so I want to stay for a few more years at least. If I were to leave Madrid it would be only for a very special team where I am loved”.

After Jose’s conference many bookies now believe that Pep Guardiola is favourite to take the job with SkyBet offering odds of 5/2 for the Spaniard to take over at Bayern.

Pep has been without a club for only two months and he also said he wanted a break from football but many people believe that he would be willing to take the job at Bayern Munich.

Pep Guardiola Takes Charge At Bayern

Spanish manager, Pep Guardiola has taken charge of Bayern Munich on a long term contract. The former Barcelona manager was excited to come straight back into football and is ready to build another great team.

Pep joins after Jupp Hynckess announced his retirement and rumours suggest that Jupp had a part to play in bringing Pep to the club. After years of success at Barcelona many people suggest that he will bring more success to Bayern Munich.

“I am very excited to be here”, said Pep. “It is a great club and has great foundations for me to work with and use to bring success to this club. I intend to bring in the best young players and develop them with the current first team and make them great players. I feel I need to prove to others that I am actually a great manager”.

Many people were also wondering if Guardiola would be using his famous ‘Tika Taka’ style of play or if he was going to revamp his whole system.

“Well I am always willing to adapt. This league is very different from LaLiga so I am prepared to change my view and bring in a new style. I still believe in my style but I know I can’t use it for every team I manage but there will be similar styles in place”.

Fans of the German giants are excited to see what Pep will bring to the club and they are happy to see such a great manager in charge of their club. Legend Franz Bekenbauer had this so say on the appointment.

“Pep is a great guy and I know he will do well. He knows how to get the best out of his players and his tactical analysis is out of this world so we are excited to see a new golden era for Bayern Munich”.

“I agree that young players should be signed as we have a great team already so to see them blend in with the more senior players will be very interesting to see”.

The First Day- Meeting The Team

I pulled up towards the training ground for the first time to meet the players. I had asked for all of the team to gather on the field and be ready to train. First though I had to meet the staff of the club that keep it running. With a new manager coming in they will be tetchy at first but I was hoping to make sure they were all needed and that I was kind to them.

I entered the training ground to be welcomed with smiling faces and it was a nice sight to see. My new PA took me on a tour around the training ground and also to my new desk. She then left me to enter my room and for me to settle down. It felt empty. I was replacing such a legendary manager in football who had such a warm presence and he was always kind to me when I saw him. I then looked out the window to see all of the players warming up for me even though I had not told them to do so.

I headed out to meet the players and had a chat with my staff at the club who help on the footballing side of things. We had such a good squad and to be honest it did not need much improvement at all so my policy towards youth was going to be key if we would have success.

After hours of analysis I had decided that these 3 players would be key for our success this season:

Frank Ribery

Frank is our best player and he is an excellent winger. I am surprised he is not playing for a team like Barcelona or Real Madrid. He has many years to go at the top so he will be my key player for this season.

Manuel Neuer

This lad is a top class goalkeeper. He has the potential to be the best ever and is currently the best in the world in my opinion. He will keep us in games all season and he will be a great player for us for many years to come.

Phillip Lahm

Phillip has played for this club for the entire of his career and is a legend at this club. He is a solid RB who can also play at LB. He is my Captain and he will always be for a long time. He is such a great player who is very loyal to the club.

The Main Tactic

I feel that this tactic will be a huge success. It has similarities with the ‘TIKA TAKA’ style but it is very more basic and suits the team well. We have very good wingers and midfielders so we must dominate in that area. Gomez is injured for around 3 months so Mandzukic and Pizzaro must show me what they are made of.

I loved that Mourinho statement, sounded just like him...and I had to read it in his voice

Took you hours of analysis to realise Lahm, Ribery and Neuer were the best at the club?!?! Evidently didn't analyse close enough, Schweiny is better than all 3 imo! Good story though!

HAHA Never noticed that but when I read it back it was his accent all the way lol

HAHA Yeah Pep is not much of a Tactical genius tbh but yeah Schweiny is a key player but them 3 are slightly more important.

BTW Wellsy, you are a naturally gifted writer imo! When you stick to a story, you write it really well! Great Story and Good Luck!
