Bundesliga stock rises as Bayern claim a prize football asset

 

Pep Guardiola brought a premature end to the likely summer saga regarding his next destination after he was announced as Bayern Munich's next manager.

The 41-year-old, who guided Barcelona to 13 trophies during his four-year stint at Camp Nou, will take over from Jupp Heynckes when he retires at the Bundesliga club at the end of the season.

The appointment will come as a blow for both Manchester City and Chelsea, who were heavily interested in hiring Guardiola this summer, while the Premier League has lost another intriguing addition for the time being.

Guardiola tries London, Manchester & Munich on for size

 

The race for Pep Guardiola's signature has well and truly begun. The former Barcelona manager revealed he will return to management this summer after a year's sabbatical, prompting Europe's biggest clubs into a scramble for his services.

While reports that Guardiola has agreed to manage Bayern Munich are wide of the mark, meetings have taken place between both parties, with 'FC Hollywood' ready to move mountains to land the man they think will take them back to the top of Europe.

The 41-year-old could perhaps link up with old Camp Nou colleagues Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain at Manchester City after revealing his wish to manage in the Premier League.

Or he could be the man to finally take over the reins at Manchester United, with Sir Alex Ferguson himself hinting the Spaniard could be the man to fill his shoes.

Window pain for Wenger as David Villa slips out of Arsenal's grasp

 

It could have been another long-running transfer saga involving Barcelona and Arsenal, but now the Catalans have declared that striker David Villa is not for sale at any price.

The Gunners had made a formal approach, but after Barca manager Tito Vilanova said the Spaniard was not for sale, Goal.com exclusively revealed that the Londoners were relenting in their pursuit.

However, Arsene Wenger has now reportedly turned his attention to Atletico Madrid's Adrian Lopez, so it's clear that the Gunners will keep trying for a new striker until they finally get one in the transfer window.

Manchester in two-horse race for the title as Arsenal and Liverpool are left behind

 

The two Manchester clubs look set to battle it out for the Premier League title alone after their latest victories on Sunday.

First, Manchester United beat rivals Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford, despite a second half revival from Brendan Rodgers' side, before Manchester City secured three points with a convincing 2-0 victory over Arsenal.

Roberto Mancini's side may be seven points adrift of the leaders, but the performance at the Emirates Stadium indicated the title race is very much a two-horse race.

Chelsea may remain an outside bet after their convincing 4-0 victory over Stoke on Saturday, but the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool have been left flagging far behind.

"الوطني" يكسب

 

أثبت المدرب الوطني في بطولة كأس الخليج الحادية والعشرين المُقامة حاليا في البحرين كفاءة ، وأحقية في استعادة المكانة الطبيعية للمدربين العرب الذين غابوا وتاهوا عن الساحة وسط زخم نظرائهم الأجانب في دول الخليج ، فالنجاح الجديد الذي سجله الناخبان الوطنيان للعراق والإمارات حكيم شاكر ومهدي علي ، حينما نجحا في بلوغ الدور نصف النهائي بعدما حققا العلامة الكاملة من النقاط بأداء ولا أروع كان خير دليل على ذلك .
