The successful coach takes charge of the Bundesliga leaders after the end of the season and will meet his former employers in the Uli Hoeness cup

Bayern Munich have announced that they will take on new head coach Pep Guardiola’s former club Barcelona in a friendly game on July 24.

The Bavarians will start the 2013-14 campaign with a training camp in Trentino from July 4 until July 12, before taking on SG Sonnenhof Grossaspach in their first game under Guardiola.

Hansa Rostock announced on Friday that they would be Bayern’s opponents in their first game under Guardiola, but it’s now been revealed that the match against the 3. Bundesliga side is scheduled one day after the Bavarians’ season opener against Grossaspach.

Bayern will then take on rivals Borussia Dortmund for the Telekom cup on July 20, with another Telekom cup match scheduled for the following day.

They end their July program with the Uli Hoeness cup match versus Barca on the 24th.
