Bayern president Uli Hoeness has told Pep Guardiola identity of new coach

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness says he has already told Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola who will succeed Carlo Ancelotti at the German club.

After sacking Ancelotti last week, the German champions are stepping up their search for a new manager and Hoeness met with former Bayern coach Guardiola at a Munich restaurant on Tuesday.

Hoeness told Munich newspaper Abendzeitung that a decision has been made on Ancelotti's successor -- and that Guardiola approves.
