Marca reports Guardiola has formally told Bayern he has no intention of signing a new contract with his current three-year deal to expire at the end of the season.

 

According to the Madrid-based paper:

 

The Catalan has informed the suits at the Allianz Arena that he has made his mind up to seek out pastures new. He feels that things have reached breaking point because of a fundamental disconnect between his footballing philosophy and the club’s ethos, not to mention certain man-management issues he has had with the squad. As far as Guardiola is concerned, there is no turning back. The way he sees it, his time in charge of the Bundesliga champions has run its course and prolonging his stay beyond the end of this season could do both the club and himself more harm than good.

Carlo Ancelotti set to replace him, according to reports emerging on Wednesday afternoon.
