Bayern Munich club president Uli Hoeness has confirmed he has told Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola who he intends to appoint as the club's manager.
Luis Enrique, who has been out of work with leaving his managerial post at Barcelona at the end of last season has emerged as the favourite for the job - while former Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel, Hoffenheim boss Julian Nagelsmann and the club's current interim manager Willy Sagnol are all also thought to be contenders to take over from Carlo Ancelotti at the Allianz Arena.
Ancelotti was sacked last week after just 14 months in charge of Bayern, and Hoeness believes Guardiola agrees with his choice to replace the Italian.
