Talk about a Friday night shocker!

The Spanish press is widely reporting that Pep Guardiola has already agreed to join Manchester City, signing a pre-contract on October 7th, nearly two whole months ago!

According to today’s edition of El Mundo Deportivo, moreover, the two-time Champions League winner signed a contract with the Citizens yesterday.

This news come in lights of Bayern Munich Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s comments, in which he claimed that “coaches come and go, no-one is indispensable”.

We reported in the same article that Carlo Ancelotti is set to succeed the Catalan.

The German giants were planning to make an announcement in late December, but could now be forced to speed up their plans.

Guardiola’s tenure in Germany, initially welcomed with much excitement, has seen the former Barcelona and Brescia player fail to win what the Bundesliga club covets the most, namely European glory, losing 5-0 on aggregate to Real Madrid in 2013-2014 and  5-3 to the Catalans the following season.

Then again, he has delivered two straight Bundesliga titles.
