Pep Guardiola – Barcelona
The Fiorentina striker played alongside the Blaugrana‘s former trainer when they were both at Brescia, and the two have remained close since Guardiola left Barcelona at the end of last season, stating he wanted some time away from football.
The Italian striker told Bild: “He asked me about Bayern. I think the philosophy of how that club is run pleases him.
“He is a very good coach, who would fit that team perfectly. He would give the German mentality some flair.”
Toni advised Guardiola, who has also been linked with Champions League holders Chelsea and 2011-12 Serie A runners-up AC Milan, to take on the job in Bavaria instead of moving to Italy, adding: “He should definitely coach Bayern. They are one of the best teams in the world.
“In Italy they [the clubs] are catching up. The only club in Italy that is comparable to Bayern is Juventus, who will be at the same level in less than 10 years.”
