Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed Pep Guardiola brought him to tears when he told him he wanted to leave the club in 2015. Guardiola spent three seasons with Bayern. The Catalan coach won three Bundesliga titles, two DFB-Pokals, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Rummenigge told Bild: "One evening I will always remember: In November 2015, at a meal together, he told me that he had to leave the club. He needed a new challenge. Pep played with open cards from the start. It was an emotional evening; he cried, I also shed tears. That was memorable for me.” The CEO said the pair spent many an evening drinking wine together. “Pep, today you had better leave your car behind and get yourself taken home,” he recalled. “He is totally reliable, a great person with whom you can have great fun. Pep and I text each other, he's not a fan of WhatsApp. We wrote to each other on Christmas and New Year's Eve, we are in regular contact. A real friendship has developed.” Guardiola who turns 50 on Monday, recently signed a new contract to extend his successful stay at Etihad Stadium.
