Rummenigge on Guardiola future: Coaches come and go

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the club are not worried about Pep Guardiola 's future as his contract nears its end.

Guardiola is out of contract at the end of the season and the two-time Champions League-winning coach has been linked with a move to Manchester City.

The 44-year-old has been tight-lipped on his future beyond 2015-16, and while Rummenigge says talks will commence before the end of 2015, he feels the club will eventually have to look to replace him.

"We have always said that there will be a decision in 2015," he told Spiegel.  "I know it is late, so close to Christmas. After the Hannover game on December 19, talks will take place and then we will announce the result.

"The speculation goes on and on. There is no man in the world who will not need to be replaced at some point. 

"This is normal. Players come, players go. This also applies to coaches. I am relaxed. 

"If Guardiola eventually goes, I'm sure we will come back with an excellent coach. We have to wait and see what happens.

"I don't think Guardiola has delayed anything.

"The entire club handles this discussion very relaxed and respectable. The coach handles this respectably. 

"I like that we have a little tension at all times. I don't see any problems.
