DÜSSELDORF, Germany: Germany midfielder Joshua Kimmich said Thursday that he hopes the rumours are true that Pep Guardiola could be persuaded to once again coach the defending German league champions. “He allowed me, as a player who only had second division experience, to play in the Champions League and Bundesliga. Guardiola, who has a City contract until July 2021, won the Bundesliga title in each of his three seasons as Bayern head coach from 2013-2016. In the meantime, Hansi Flick, the assistant coach when Germany won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, has been appointed interim coach of Bayern. “I don’t know how realistic that is or what Bayern Munich’s plan looks like with Hansi Flick,” Kimmich said of the Guardiola rumours.
