Guardiola to announce plans tomorrow
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 19 - 12 - 2015

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola says club boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge "knows everything" about his future plans with an announcement on whether he is leaving at the end of the season expected Sunday.
Speculation is rife that the Spaniard will move on to another club when his contract expires, with Manchester City among a number of Premier League sides queuing up for his services.
"The club, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, and myself have repeated numerous times that we will speak after the last match (of the year) at Hanover. That hasn't changed. You'll know the day after tomorrow (Sunday)," Guardiola told a press conference on the eve of his club's closing Bundesliga outing of 2015.
"Rummenigge knows everything" about his decision, the Catalan added.
Rummenigge said in November to expect "a Christmas surprise, one way or the other, before Christmas," adding that "no one is irreplaceable".
Media reports this week suggest Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti was being lined up to replace Guardiola who since his arrival in 2013 has guided Bayern to two league titles and a German Cup.
As Bayern fans wait on Guardiola's next move the club announced that four players — striker Thomas Mueller, defender Jerome Boateng and midfield holder Xabi Alonso — had extended their contracts.
No feud with Pulis: Klopp
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp dismissed any suggestion of a feud with West Bromwich Albion's Tony Pulis after being the target of a sarcastic jibe from his opposite number Friday.
Klopp apologized for not shaking hands after last weekend's 2-2 Premier League draw, in which his team equalized in the sixth minute of added time, and for "a few words" exchanged with his opposite number during the game.
Earlier Friday Pulis made a sarcastic "apology" of his own for "playing three longer passes in 99 minutes than Liverpool did".
He claimed that Klopp was trying to divert attention from the fact that his team was worth "ten times more" than Albion's but could not beat them, and added that West Bromwich was expecting a harder game this weekend at home to promoted Bournemouth.
"It wasn't a big problem," Klopp told a news conference Friday. "After the game I wanted to go to my team and be with them.
"Sometimes you do things in football you wouldn't do in normal life but it wasn't serious.
"Everything is different in those 98 minutes. I can easily say sorry for everything I said during the game.
"I have big respect for Pulis' work."
He could not resist adding, however, of Sunday's game: "Their second goal was offside and a foul. Nobody talked about this. It was all about Klopp, Pulis and going to the fans." — Agencies
