Pep Guardiola admits he could face the sack if Bayern Munich don't match the success of his six Germany World Cup stars
Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has admitted that he fears losing his job at the end of the coming season.
Speaking at a press conference prior to Bayern's pre-season tour of the USA, the Catalan said, 'there are no secrets. If I don't win, then a different coach will probably come in'.
The remark came in the context of concerns that the six members of Bayern's side who had just won the World Cup with Germany would suffer under lack of motivation upon returning to club football.
Both the media and Bayern's Director of Sport Matthias Sammer have voiced fears recently that Bayern would emulate their performances in 2006 and 2010, and start poorly after a World Cup summer.

'We can't allow ourselves a phase like that', said Sammer.

Guardiola, though, whose Champions League winning Barcelona team of 2011 also contained newly crowned World Cup winners, is adamant that Germany's triumph is a good thing for his side.

'I am happy for Germany that they won the World Cup. It is a great gift for FC Bayern that six of our players were able to contribute to it.'
